Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- logesjiiva9 contributionsDuring monsoon this church looks so beautiful. The interiors and jesus statue was so amazing, photographs are restricted inside the church, so be prepared.
Nice place to spend around 30 minutes.Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Jodie M4 contributionsReally beautiful church.

Somehow it was partially closed on Friday when we visited. One can walk to this place from the Brasilia opposite. Good place to visit. Probably of greater significance if you are from the same faith.Written 30 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gunga D3 contributionsWe visited this house may be about 20 years ago. At that time there were no fees. At the end of the tour you could voluntarily drop contributions in a box placed for the purpose. A brown Goan lady in Western attire was sitting at the entrance cum exit. Although the building and interior are in Portuguese style, the building belongs to a family of Goan converts. So it should be called Goan House. It has two parts that were inherited by two brothers. One brother neglected his part while the other, being more dynamic and resourceful, developed and embellished his part to make it a beautiful Portuguese style house. A lot of colonial furniture, kitchenware, crockery and wall pieces and several works of art decorate the house. A ride from the hotel of may be an hour or an hour and a half gives the visitor a looksee at then Goan countryside and villages. The past several generations of the Braganza family deserve kudos for maintaining this piece of Portuguese influence on Goa's Konkani Catholic society.Written 10 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mi DoGoa, India176 contributionsThe construction of the churchwas completed in 1661. The design of the church resembles St. . Peter's Basilica in Rome. Perhaps this similarity is due to the fact that the head of the construction of the project was an Italian monk of the Order of Theatines. The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Divine Conduct, but bears the name of Saint Cajetan, the founder of the Order of Theatines. The architectural idea of the church is in many ways similar to similar Catholic churches in Goa, but it is the only surviving domed Catholic church in Goa. The church is made in the Corinthian style, while the gilded altars decorated with rich carvings represent the Baroque style. Must see!Written 23 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anthony_Perth666Candolim, India84 contributionsA very interesting architectural style ((roman mannerist aka Raphael and Michelangelo} The twin towers soar up to the heavens. Imagine in the 16th century how this would have been awe inspiring in the local agrarian environs. A truly beautiful church which is very dear to me.Written 23 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- harleen sNew Delhi, India1,260 contributionsthis Arch is in one far corner if you are walking towards the Mandovi river (near Adil Shah Palace gateway) , most of the tourists would miss seeing this arch due to its location (away from the main road) and we just happened to see this beautiful Arch while going for a lovely lunch at Greenyard restaurant & Bar located closeby. Sharing a picture I clicked ...
This Arch was built in the memory of Vasco da Gama in 1597 by his great grandson and used to carry a lot of historical importanceWritten 30 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If the guide there would have spoken it would have been the best.

- Chandar11Leeds, UK132 contributionsA very quiet but beautiful temple on the outskirts of Panjim. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the temple from the parking area. There is an absence of beggers in around the temple which mean you can do Darsham without distractions. A nice temple to visit. One of two key templesWritten 28 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Me and my family really got full value for my money and like to be there back again very soon.Written 5 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- smartaleck_ajNew Delhi, India82 contributionsWe really enjoyed visiting the place. The mansion was in Chinchinim. The architectural beauty of the place is ineffible. It is even more impressive to know that the place was built so long ago.Written 30 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mi DoGoa, India176 contributionsSingbala Book House is located at the main square right beside the Tourist Information Office. This small store is in operation since 1936, and stocks international bestsellers, books on fiction, novels, travel guides, newspapers and much more. The inside of the shop is fairly small, perhaps no more than a few hundred square feet of densely packed shelves.Written 10 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
