St Philomena's church (St Joseph's Cathedral) Mysore is one of the highest Gothic churches (55 m) in India. The church was designed by Dally, a French similar to Germany's Cologne cathedral.
Saint Philomena is a saint and martyr of the Roman Catholic Church. She is said to have been a young Greek princess martyred in the 4th century by Roman Emperor Diaclitus. The remains of a teenage girl no older than 14 were discovered on May 24, 1802 in the Catacombs of Saint Priscilla at the Via Salaria in Rome.
