Mylapore
Mylapore traces its history back over a thousand years and remains the spiritual and cultural nucleus of Chennai. The neighbourhood is anchored by the magnificent Kapaleeshwarar Temple, a Dravidian architectural masterpiece, and San Thome Cathedral, believed to house the tomb of St. Thomas the Apostle. Narrow lanes filled with silk sari shops, brass lamp stores, flower vendors, and filter coffee houses give Mylapore a character that is unmistakably Chennai.

Mylapore's name derives from "Mayilapur" (city of peacocks). The area was a major port town centuries before the British founded Fort St. George.
