St. Mary's Knanaya Church, also known as Valiapalli, is one of the oldest churches in Kerala, believed to have been constructed around 1550 AD. Located near Kottayam, on the route to Kumarakom, it holds significant historical and architectural importance for the Knanaya community and Syrian Christians. The church is renowned for its Persian crosses, believed to be among those brought by St. Thomas the Apostle, and the inscriptions within its walls.
