Nossa Senhora, Mãe de
Deus
Parish Church -
Saligao, Bardez, Goa.
Built in 1873, it is
one of the most beautiful
and magnificent
churches in Goa.
It is on the list of
my favourites and
the wonderful pieces
of architectural grandeur.
It has always brought
me a feeling of peace,
be it in the morning or evening twilight, day or night
or on a moonlit night
shining in all its splendour.
Living in Guirim, as
a teenager and
as a close neighbour of Saligao,
as a close neighbour of Saligao,
I often cycled late in the evening to
just delightfully watch
this beautiful masterpiece
just delightfully watch
this beautiful masterpiece
from across the main road,
lit up in all its glory
long past sundown.
lit up in all its glory
long past sundown.
