The streets of Old Goa are like libraries, filled with stories written not in books but in stone, plaster, and faded paint. Each building is a chapter, a memory of the city’s once-glorious past when it was the centre of the Portuguese empire in the East.
Among the most significant monuments that stand like sentinels of this history is the Basilica of Bom Jesus, perhaps the most famous building in Goa. The church, built in 1605 by the Portuguese, is a testament not only to their colonial ambitions but also to the rich cultural and religious exchange that characterised the era.
