Description
This church dates from the 14th century. That's why it is called the old Sikka church. Its location close to the beach and coupled with an exotic church building makes this historic building one of the favorite tourist destinations for tourists. Especially for tourists who are Catholic. This church building and architecture has its own uniqueness. The church building is large with high pillars and towers away like a tunnel. In the tunnel there are many graves that are in very well preserved condition, making it interesting to look at. The old Sikka church building is made of teak wood which was built in a palace-like architecture. Every procession carried out in the church is still using Portuguese. That is one of the attractions and uniqueness of the church which has been around since the 14th century.
The old Sikka church has the original name Church of St. Ignatius Loyola. Around this church, you can explore cultural tourism.
