This old Portuguese church is lovely and rich with history. If you go to Old Goa, go when there is not Christian holy day as the town fills-up with too many people and can become chaotic. During the week the place is flawless and a nice brethe of fresh air compared to the usual hustle of Panajim.

Probably took 30 pictures inside because every time I took... More

Any trip to Goa must include a few hours walking the churches, basilicas, cathedrals built by the Portugueses. St. Cajetan's is not in the main complex of churches such as Se Cathedral, St. Francis of Assisi or the Chapel of St. Catherine, but it is worth the short walk to visit this building. St. Cajetan was an Italian (had to... More
