Medieval Goa

The greatest indication of unity can be seen in several places of worship in Goa, where both Hindus and Christians are seen going together. Old and medieval goa of today is quite diverse from the city that once served as the bustling capital of Portuguese India.

In its glory days, the spacious lawns that now stretch out in front of the churches were crowded with houses and narrow streets. As a matter of fact, the city was peopled by more than lakhs of humans which is even more than the current population of the capital of this city, Panaji.

In Goa's glory day’s tourist and vacationers take pride in having a glimpse of the humongous structures and the exceedingly developed inner-city scenery of the city, in which the Portuguese had put up a quantity of outsized churches and a significant convent known as the Santa Mónica.

However a measured turn down embarked somewhere in the year 1650 when goa  was in due course deserted and people started moving out for the reason that there were reoccurring health concerns for diseases such as malaria and cholera and this was the times when the city populace moved more than a few miles west to the capital of goa.
