Overview

The Old Goa Heritage Walk revisits some of the most fascinating facts during Portuguese rule. When Old Goa was Goa’s former capital city, it was a thriving city even during prior to Portuguese times. It was the capital of the Bahmani Sultan Adil Shah empire. The Portuguese arrived here in 1510 under their commander Afonso de Albuquerque, and captured the city from Adil Shah, the ruler of the Bijapur Kingdom. They came to the East in search of trade and to eventually spread Christianity.

In our Old Goa Heritage Walk, explore some of the most historically significant buildings. Old Goa is a World Heritage site housing some of most grandest and oldest churches in the region. Among these are the imposing Sé Cathedral, St. Francis of Assissi Church, the Chapel of St. Catherine, Church of Our Lady of Rosary and the domed church of St. Cajetan.

Pawan is incredibly personable and made a long walk on a hot day surprisingly enjoyable. I have yet to meet another guide with such a range of historical, ecological, and sociological knowledge.

Our walks with Make it Happen were the best part, we had amazing story tellers with us; Vaishnavi and Pawan were the best - knowledgeable, friendly and great at their jobs. The walks help us understand the culture and history, and admire the beauty much more. Its a must!
