Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, Catholic church in Panaji, India.
The white Baroque church stands on a hilltop with two bell towers and zigzag stairways leading to the main entrance from the municipal garden.
Built in 1609 on the site of a former chapel from 1541, the church served Portuguese sailors during their first port of call in colonial India.
The church celebrates the Festival of the Immaculate Conception on December 8 with services in English, Konkani, and Portuguese languages.
The church opens daily from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with free admission and increased visitor numbers from November to February.
The bell tower contains the second largest bell in Goa, transferred from the ruins of the Church of St. Augustine in Old Goa.
