Gloria Church -Mumbai
The original Gloria Church, Nossa Senhora de Gloria, was built in 1632 by the deSouza e Lima family, who owned Mazagaon island. (The deSouza's got the island in perpetuity from the King of Portugal in 1572.
In 1911, the old church was destroyed and this new one was built in the prevailing Gothic style.
See the tall narrow windows, with pointed arched heads? Those are the typical lancet light windows of Gothic buildings.
