PICTURESQUE GOA


BUILDING WITH A PAST
This is a picture of a building which was originally the summer palace of Goa's 16th century interim Muslim ruler. His name was Adil Shah. With the onset of Portuguese rule in Goa, the above building was converted into a rest house the Governors of Goa who were appointed from Lisbon. It was later used as the Secretariat/Legislature of the State of Goa, and now referred to simply as a non-functional 'Old Secretariat Building'.
