Of course, if you are visiting Goa for the first time, a trip to the famed Basilica of Bom Jesus Basilica {a heritage monument that houses the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier} and Se Cathedral {a 17th-century church that’s stunningly decorated} should be on your list. However, on subsequent trips there are many more that you can explore. The Church of St. Catejan Church, at Bardez, is massive, white structure whose design was inspired by original plan for St. Peter’s Cathedral. We also recommend a visit to the ruins of the St. Augustine Tower that’s a few minutes away from Bom Basilica. The towering belfry, the patches of mosaic in the many chapels, and the abandoned altars are all worth marvelling at.
