Here’s your chance to explore Goa in a new light! Immerse yourselves in the city’s rich cultural tapestry with Antiquity Discoveries taking you on a tour through Fontainhas. Prepare to be mesmerised as our storyteller Insia Lacewalla breathes life into the iconic spots by sharing their secrets and history so you can witness the Latin quarter in a way you've never seen before. So, whether you're an art lover, culture-curious soul, or a seeker of stories, this culture walk brings it all to you! Go back in time and discover all that this old Portuguese quarter has to offer.
Explore the picturesque corners of Fontainhas with Insia, who’ll familiarise you with the anecdotes of this historical Portuguese quarter. The first stop being- The Tobacco Square, once a bustling trading hub during the Portuguese colonial era. Since no exploration is complete without savouring delicacies over conversations with like-minded folks, get a chance to do so at Viva Panjim- a Goan-Portuguese family heritage home turned into a restaurant. The gears now shift to Fundação Oriente, an Indo-Portuguese art gallery housing 140 paintings by renowned Goan painter Antonio Xavier Trindade as well as that of his daughter Angela Trindade, a well-known artist herself.
As the sun sets over Fontainhas, our walk of discovery culminates at a unique and immersive experience at Petisco Goa. Unleash your creativity with a Sand Art workshop hosted by Anjali Goel, Founder of Studio Tvastra, while sipping on stories in a glass - a series of cocktails inspired by the sights, sounds and smells of Fontainhas prepared by mixologist Tanmay Aggarwal.
So, get your curious hats on for an unforgettable evening of fun, creativity and camaraderie. See you there!
