Churches of goa

The Convent and the Church of the Cross of Miracle

The Convent and the Church of the Cross of Miracle is perched on the top of the hill in the southern outskirts of Old Goa. The visitors would surely love the view from the hill top. The church, though in ruins now, exhibits the medieval European church architecture

Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church


The Panjim Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is placed on the hillside and just high above the Idalco Palace built by Adil Shah. Standing on the gallery of the church, you can see the entire view of the lovely Panjim city. It is one of Panjims best attractions located in the heart of Panjim city and is the first church of Goa, built in 1541. 



The decoration of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception church is simple, but still it is amazing to the eyes because of it simplicity. In the year 1871, the great bell belonging to the Augustinian Church of Our Lady which is in Old Goa was brought here in Panjim Church to install. After the Golden Bell in Se Cathedral, this is second bell which is large and heavy in weight and due to this the whole pediment of the faade was renovated and increased in the size.


MY EXPERIENCE WHEN I VISITED SOME OF THE PLACES
When i visited the church of cross of Miracle/ St. Joseph Vaz and Mount Merry at old Goa. I was mesmarized with the beauty of the Church. From the church we could see the entire the Old Goa.
The Church is also popular in Bollywood, For example: Golmaal Returns. In my opinion i feel that all the readers of this blog should visit this place.
We also visited the famous Panjim Church Immacuate. Which is also popular in bollywood. Examples: Rocky Handsome and Dhamal etc.
