Today I am back with photos of yet another iconic monument - Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, located in Goa's capital Panaji. The bright white colour of this church dazzles in the sunlight, making it a sight to behold.
This church was built by the Portuguese in 1541, as a chapel for the Portuguese sailors. Later as the population of the area grew, in 1609 the chapel was replaced by this larger church. Every year of the 8th of March, Festival of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is celebrated here, during which the church is decked up in colourful lights.
