Ross Hill Church

Ross Hill is also known as Kanyamarikonda and is the highest peak among the peaks of the Eastern Ghats. Vizag is surrounded by three hills, and on each of these three hills, there are holy sites of three different religions. There is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva on the Venkateswara hill, the Virgin Mary Church on the Ross Hills, and the tomb of Baba Ishaq Madina, a Muslim saint on the Dargah Konda. Ross Hill got its name from an Englishman Mr. Ross, whose house was located on this hill in the year of 1864, was later converted into a church called Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. The way to the church is decorated with many Christian signs and images and offers a beautiful view of the beaches, harbor, and shipbuilding yard.
