The Anglican St. Thomas Cathedral is located
at the centre of the Veer Nariman road and Cowasji Patel Street. It is
the oldest English building standing in Mumbai. Its foundation was laid
in 1676 during the governorship of Gerald Aungier, but it was not finished
until a Christmas day in 1718. A fountain designed by Gilbert Scott
stands in the courtyard. Its tower and garden continue to form a significant
landmark of the city.
