Casa Araujo Alvares

Visit Casa Araujo Alvares, another one of Loutolim’s really old homes that may not be as grand as the Figueiredo Mansion, but offers a different perspective of Goan homes. This one used to be owned by a judge in the old times and his ancestors have now converted it in to a museum. They, of course, give you guided tours, but they are also Goa’s first museum to have an automated sound and light effects tour which tells you about how a judge and his family lived in the Portuguese era, which is pretty interesting.
