Places to see in Goa ..Viceroys Arch Old Goa...Historic monument
While goa is well known for its beaches it also boasts of its architectural landmarks of the portugurse era that leaves visitors wonderstuck.
At one of time this monument represented the grandeur of Portuguese rule in Goa.
Located on the way to the jetty from the church of saint cajetan the viceroys Arch is a charming stone structure built in the memory of Europe's most celebrated Navigator vasco da gama.
constructed in 1599 by his great grandson Francesco da gama to remember the great accomplishments of his grandfather this arch captivates onlookers with its curious greenish granite and laterite stone which stand out strikingly against the blue sky.
just Like the gateway of India was used for symbolic ceremonial entrance for viceroys and new governors coming to serve the British rule in India. The viceroys arch was used for the same purpose by portuguse in goa and it's also known to have been one of the gates of Adil shahs palace.
In 1954 the arch was reconstructed with vasco said gamas statue on the river side and st Catherine on the other and I must say the structure of great adventurer in royal uniform is quite captivating. the gate is an excellent example of manuline style of architecture though the arch in itself is a feature of the Italian renaissance .
inscribed slabs can also be seen on the inside of the archway describing the significance of it.
Like every city Goa has its own gateway and this silent sentinel opens its heart to take you to the irrefutable journey of bygones as soon as you prepare yourself to take walk through it
It preserves an unknown air of royalty that entices every traveller and also flaunts the portuguese history.
so next time when you pass through this Archway make sure you enter with full honour....

Santa Monica River Cruise and Churches of Velha Goa | Offbeat Things To Do In Goa |
Goa is definitely known for its wonderful beaches, party and watersports.. Right?? But that's obviously not all about the state..
Its colonial past has enriched it with many beautiful forts and churches.
This video is about the mesmerizing churches of Old Goa or Velha Goa.
Old Goa or Velha Goa (Velha means old in Portuguese) is a historical city in North Goa district in the Indian state of Goa. The city was constructed by the Bijapur Sultanate in the 15th century, and served as capital of Portuguese India from the 16th century until its abandonment in the 18th century due to a plague. Under the Portuguese, it is said to have once been a city of nearly 200,000 where from, before the plague, the Portuguese traded across continents. The remains of the city are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Old Goa is approximately 10 kilometres east of the state capital Panaji.
The city was founded in the 15th century as a port on the banks of the Mandovi river by the rulers of the Bijapur Sultanate. The city was built to replace Govapuri, which lay a few kilometres to the south and had been used as a port by the Kadamba and Vijayanagar kings. Old Goa was the second capital after Bijapur of the rule of Adil Shahi Dynasty. It was surrounded by a moat and contained the shah's palace, and his mosques and temples. The city was captured by the Portuguese, and was under Portuguese rule from 1510 as the administrative seat of Portuguese India. The viceroy's residence was transferred in 1759 to the future capital, Panjim, at the time a village about 9 kilometres to its west. Few remnants, if any, of the pre-Portuguese period remain at Old Goa.
During the mid-16th century, the Portuguese colony of Goa, especially Velha Goa, was the center of Christianisation in the East.[4] The city was evangelized by all religious orders, since all of them had their headquarters there.[5] The population was roughly 200,000 by 1543. Malaria and cholera epidemics ravaged the city in the 17th century and it was largely abandoned, only having a remaining population of 1,500 in 1775. It was then that the viceroy moved to Panjim. It continued to be the de jure capital of Goa until 1843, when the capital was then shifted to Panjim (Ponnjê in Konkani, Nova Goa in Portuguese and Panaji in Hindi). The abandoned city came to be known as Velha Goa (in Portuguese, 'Old Goa'), to distinguish it from the new capital Nova Goa (Panjim) and probably also Goa Velha (also meaning Old Goa), which was the Portuguese name for the town located on the old site of Govapuri.
Velha Goa was incorporated into the Republic of India after its annexation in 1961, together with the rest of Goa. It still retains its religious significance in modern day Goa notably in its relations with Roman Catholicism. The Archbishop of Goa and Daman holds title as the Patriarch of the East. Unlike the patriarchs and the major archbishops of the Eastern Catholic Churches, the Patriarch of the East Indies only enjoys honorary title and is fully subject to the pope. He has a place within the Latin Church similar to the Patriarchs of Venice and Lisbon. This title was conferred upon the Archbishop of Goa as part of a settlement between the Holy See and the Portuguese government concerning the link between religious and political aspects of its territories.
The churches in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites are:
Se Cathedral, Basilica of Bom Jesus, St. Francis of Asissi, St. Catherine's chapel, Church of St. Cajetan and Our Lady of Rosary.

Goa: Pearl of the Orient -- A Snapshot of Goa in the 1980s
A home-made presentation put together by Mel D'Souza, with photographs he took during brief visits to Goa in 1982 and 1989. Bel Remedios and Edwin D'Souza contributed three photographs each, and Elaine D'Souza offered the picture of people walking down the street in the village of Saligão -- a scene so typical of Goa's quintessential 'susegado' way of life. Commentary by Mel D'Souza, and technical assistance provided by Liam Yeates. Brampton, Ontario, Canada, March 2013. 13:12 minutes.
Cтарый гоа, Индия | Old goa, India
Старый Гоа, также известен в пресcе как Гоа-Велья (хинди गोआ वेल्या, конк. व्हॉडळें गॉय, порт. Velha Goa, Велья Гоа) — город в штате Гоа в Индии, ранее являвшийся столицей португальской Индии, имеющий выдающийся исторический центр. Расположен в округе Северный Гоа.
Согласно переписи 2001 года население Гоа-Велья составило 5.411 жителей[1], в 2010, по оценкам специалистов, население составило приблизительно 5656 человек. В Гоа-Велья население имеет средний уровень грамотности 77 %, что выше, чем в среднем по стране (59,5 %), грамотность среди мужчин — 82 %, среди женщин — 71 %.
Из-за чрезвычайно развитого туристического бизнеса в штате, связанного с популярностью штата у туристов во всём мире, в городе, равно как и во всём остальном штате, промышленность, во многом, ориентирована на обслуживание туристов; в городе активно сохраняется и развивается культурное наследие португальской и до-португальской эпох. Так, в Старом Гоа сохранилось множество памятников колониальной архитектуры. К основным достопримечательностям относятся Собор Святой Екатерины (1550 г.), Базилика Бон-Жезуш, монастырь св. Франциска Ассизского (перестроен в 1661 году в мечеть), церковь св. Каетана
Поселение с XV века, однако город в нынешнем виде был построен португальцами в XVI веке. Именно здесь похоронен св. Франциск Ксаверий. Из-за эпидемий малярии в XVII—XVIII веках население переселилось в пригород Панаджи, ставший позднее столицей колонии и получивший название «Новый Гоа».
The city was constructed by the Bijapur Sultanate in the 15th century, and served as capital of Portuguese India from the 16th century until its abandonment in the 18th century due to a plague. It is said to have once been a city of nearly 200,000 where from, before the plague, the Portuguese traded across continents. The remains of the city are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The name Old Goa was first used in the 1960s in the address of the Konkani monthly magazine, dedicated to spread the devotion of the Sacred Heart, Dor Mhoineachi Rotti which was shifted to the Basilica of Bom Jesus in 1964. Postal letters were returned to the sender, as the name Old Goa was unknown then, according to then and long-time editor of the monthly, the great Goan historian late Padre Moreno de Souza, SJ.
The village panchayat uses the name Sé-Old Goa, while the post office, Archaeological Survey of India use the name Velha Goa. The place is known as Saibachem Goem (referring to St. Francis Xavier as Saib i.e. Master), Pornnem Goem, Adlem Goem or just Goem in Konkani[citation needed]. The name Velha Goa should not be confused with another former Goan capital Goa Velha, lying some villages away in the south. The names Vhoddlem Goem and Thorlem Goem[1] refers to Goa Velha, while Goem besides referring to Velha Goa i.e. Old Goa also refers to the whole state of Goa in some contexts (Old Goa).
Old Goa was the second capital after Bijapur of the rule of Adil Shahi Dynasty. It was surrounded by a moat and contained the Shah's palace, and his mosques and temples. The Viceroy's residence was transferred in 1759 to the future capital, Panjim, at the time a village about 9 kilometres to its west.
Old Goa contains churches the Se Cathedral (the seat of the Archbishop of Goa), the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, the Church of S. Caetano, and notably, the Basilica of Bom Jesus which contains the relics of Saint Francis Xavier
