Mazagaon

Mazagaon extends along the eastern shore of Mumbai harbor, featuring a mix of colonial buildings and modern residential complexes beside the waterfront.

Portuguese Jesuits established the first settlement in Mazagaon during the sixteenth century, building a church and developing the area into a strategic port.

The neighborhood maintains a diverse population of Roman Catholics, Hindus, and descendants of Portuguese settlers, each contributing to local traditions.

The area connects to central Mumbai through multiple transportation options, including trains at Dockyard Road station and regular bus services.

Mazagaon once contained mango trees that produced fruit twice annually, a botanical phenomenon that continued into the twentieth century.
