Pillar 02
2. Portuguese Heritage & Old Goa
Witness over 450 years of Portuguese cultural confluence. Walk through the UNESCO World Heritage Basilica of Bom Jesus (housing the relics of St. Francis Xavier), Se Cathedral, Fort Aguada, and the pastel-colored 18th-century mansions of Fontainhas Latin Quarter in Panaji.
