Churches and Convents of Goa
Churches and Convents of Goa, Religious heritage site in Old Goa, India.
The religious complex encompasses seven Christian monuments featuring Gothic, Baroque, and Mannerist architectural styles mixed with Indian decorative elements.
Portuguese colonizers established these religious structures between 1510 and 1661, starting with the Chapel of St. Catherine after conquering the region.
The Basilica of Bom Jesus contains the remains of St. Francis Xavier, making it a major destination for Christian pilgrims from across India.
