It's just 10kms away from Panjim in old GOA. We can hire a taxi from Panjim to reach here in about 20 minutes. Dabolim is the nearest airport, which is 30kms away from panaji.

The city which was once the capital (1530–1843) of the Portuguese State of India.

Basilica of bom Jesus, part of the churches and convents of GOA UNESCO World Heritage site.
The beauty of architecture is the main attraction of this place.
The construction work of this church has began in the year 1594 and consecrated in may 1605 by archbishop. It is considered to be one of the best examples of baroque architecture and Portuguese colonial architecture in india. And ,it is also included as one of the Seven wonders of Portuguese origin in the world.

MY EXPERIENCE,

I've visited GOA in the year 2019 with my friends, it was an unplanned trip, yet the most momerable. Apart from the beaches and street shopping, we just fell in love with the atmosphere of basilica of bom jesus church. Such a beautiful place it was with the spellbounding architecture, it's history and the museum. The heritage things in the museum were so eye catchy. There is no entry fee, And the best thing to the visitors is that there is no restriction for the photography inside the church. So,that I've captured all these beauties. The millions that throng there every day.

THE AMAZING HOUSE NEARBY,

All inclusive, it's into my favourite go-to checklist , if I visit goa any other time.

Visiting time- 9:00AM to 6:00PM (Monday-saturday)
