Milagres Church is an ancient church located 7 km from Udupi. It witnessed the assault of a raid by Tipu Sultan. Church of Our Lady of Miracles, renowned as Milagres Church, is a central attraction in Mangalore. Bishop Thomas de Castro, a Theatine priest of Salcette, solemnly constructed it in 1680. It is believed that the soldiers of Tipu Sultan once destroyed some parts of the church - the stones were used by Tipu to build the Idgah on Lighthouse Hill.
Milagres Church is considered as one of the beautiful artistic houses of prayer in Mangalore embedded with architectural beauty. The church has a superb altar with a French painting of St Monica and St Augustine, really an awesome rare piece of art worth visiting.
