About Churches and Convents of Goa
In Old Goa, once the splendid capital of Portuguese India, a cluster of monumental churches and convents survives amid the tropical greenery, all that remains of a city that rivalled Lisbon. The Basilica of Bom Jesus holds the revered remains of St Francis Xavier, while the vast Sé Cathedral and other baroque churches recall Goa's role in spreading Christianity across Asia.
