Swiss Chapel, Mapusa, Bardez, Goa.
(The "Swiss Chapel" in Mapusa, Goa, isn't named after Switzerland, but rather commemorates a battle victory against the Bhonsles and Ranes from Sawantwadi by Portuguese troops known as "suíças" (meaning "with sideburns"). A mock battle was staged at Carnival during the Portuguese era.
