Highlights of Goa – Old Goa

I did a brief 40 minute stop here on the way back to the train station. It’s about 10km east/inland of Panaji (Panjim) along the Mandavi River.
There are a half dozen large churches and cathedrals here (yet another World Heritage site!), with the main ones clustered on some treed parks.
