Old Goa Rd, Bainguinim, Goa 403402, India
Basilica of Bom Jesus is the most famous church of Goa. It's hundreds of year old and still remains beautiful. It's more famous because it houses the body of St. Francis Xavier, a saint who doesn't need any introduction. Indians and Foreigners from all across the world visit this place every year only to immerse in the serenity of its environment. The sculptures and structure inside the church are worth seeing. There are no entry fees for visiting it. I visited the church a week ago with my parents and I must say it's one of the most beautiful church I have ever come across in my life. I recommend using either a cab, scooty or a tour bus for visiting it.
Very clean and well maintained. And I felt very connected even if I am not Christian. This was my first visit to the church and I felt very very peaceful. Its not about what religion you belong to. Its about the faith and nothing more.. Loved the church
A beautiful heritage Church standing in picturesque surrounding. You can witness that the artworks inside it are different from most other churches. Give it better part of the day to enjoy its tranquility. Also you will find historic places to visit near by.
One of the most important Christian faith places in India. Take a guide and he will tell you the amazing story behind this place. Must visit. And please be respectful, it is a religious place. Read the signs and follow the rules. Don't just go anywhere and start clicking selfies. Such a shame people behave like cattle in such pristine places.
Archeological place. It has a younger white of it's kind right on the other side of the street. the area is beautiful. The history and importance if the church is well explained when you enter there by the guides there. Must visit to experience a high standing 500 years old church and also who can forget clicking pictures!?
