The State of Goa is located along the western coast of India. The state is known for attracting tourists throughout the year with its beautiful beaches, vivacious nightlife, and nearly more than 300 year old Portuguese architecture. Referred to as the "City of Churches," Goa is pretty calm and peaceful packed with colorful houses, lush green spaces, and soothing atmosphere. Here, day begins late and ends late. The state is broadly divided into two parts - North Goa and South Goa, the striking difference between the two can be witnessed easily. South Goa is packed with private beaches, mix of white sand and clean blue water and 5 star hotels. Whereas, North Goa is a cultural hub with traditional eateries and markets. It is a perfect place to indulge in crazy parties and vibrant nightlife!
Basilica of Bom JesusThe Basilica of Bom Jesus is also referred to as the Old Goa Church. The church is the finest example of Baroque architecture in Goa. The church is dedicated to “Bom Jesus" (meaning good Jesus or infant Jesus). The facade has been carved out of black granite with the combination of the Doric, Corinthian, and composite styles. The interior of the church has been constructed in the Mosaico-Corinthian style. Within the church are two chapels, a main altar, and a sacristy besides a choir.
