Trail Details

Goa has long been known not only for its beaches but also its magnificent churches. The popular monumental churches of Old Goa are visited in large numbers, leaving behind several others that are equally beautiful and rich in heritage. Carefully hidden behind the walls of these majestic monuments are mysteries that have been discovered only recently during restorations. Come witness the astounding works of art found on the walls of these monumental buildings, which could have been inspired by the Hindu Temples along the Konkan Coast on our Old Goa Christian Art and Heritage Trail! The ancient art of ​KAAVI made with a paste of soil and charcoal filled into an etched design will keep you wondering how one could possess such an intricate skill with magnificent results. Learn about how this beautiful art form has barely survived to tell its tale today. In addition, the colorful murals, rich blue stucco plasterwork, and the rustic remains of one of the biggest churches to be built in Goa. This trail also touches upon the recent restorations and discoveries right from hidden forms of art to the bones of a Georgian Queen in one of the churches. ▪ Note: This is a walking trail. ▪ Start Time: 3:00 PM ▪ Duration: 2 Hours 30 Minutes ▪ Available on request ▪ Bainguinim, Goa What makes this tour special ? ▪ Enter one of the first religious building built by the Portuguese in Goa ▪ Exploring the birth place of the famous Goan sweet "Bebinca" ▪ Visit Asia's one of a kind Museum ▪ Spot the remains of a Church ▪ Visit one of the most unique chapels in Goa Itinerary ▪ Church of our Lady of Rosary ▪ Convent of Santa Monica ▪ Museum of Christian Art ▪ Ruins of St. Augustine ▪ Royal Chapel of St. Anthony
