Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church, Mt. Poinsur, Portuguese colonial church in Mount Poinsur, Mumbai, India
The church stands at the peak of a hill, featuring two towers, a prominent belfry, and white-painted walls with zigzag stairs leading to the entrance.
Founded as a chapel in 1541 by Franciscan missionary Antonio do Porto, the structure expanded into a larger church in 1609 to accommodate Portuguese settlers.
The church holds daily Mass services in English, Konkani, and Portuguese languages, reflecting the diverse local population of the Mumbai suburb.
Visitors can access the church from Monday through Saturday between 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and Monday through Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
The adjacent Mandapeshwar caves, dating from 750-850 AD, initially served as a crypt for the church before becoming a chapel for parishioners.
