Goa Churches

 

 

Introduction

Built of laterite and lime plaster, the churches and cathedrals built during 16th to 17th century A.D. at Old Goa are a legacy of the Portuguese. They comprise of -Se' Cathedral, Church and Convent of St. Francis of Asisi, Chapel of St. Catherine, Basilica of Bom Jesus, Church of lady of Rosary and the Church of St. Augustine. Built in a combination of the renaissance and baroque styles, these churches and convents in old Goa are architectural masterpieces. The Basilica of Bom Jesus, where the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier rest, is one of the best in design and style. The Church of St Cajetan has a façade decorated with lonic, Doric and Corinthian pilasters. The Se' Cathedral with its Tuscan exterior, Corinthian columns, raised platform with steps leading to the entrance and barrel -vault is yet another example of Renaissance architecture. The paintings in the church are executed on wooden borders and fixed between panels with floral designs. Except for a few statues which are in stone, most of the other statues of the saints, Mother Mary and Jesus are mostly first carved in wood and then painted to adorn the altars.
