From the early days of the tobacco industry to the creation of currency and the ultimate point of governance for the Portuguese, Panjim has experienced a rich history. With an emphasis on the Fontainhas district, we explore the emergence of Panaji. We delve into how ‘Nova Goa’ emerged as the fresh capital following the decline of Old Goa due to the plague. We will hear tales of The Adilshah Palace, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church, St Sebastian Chapel, and the slim passageways that reflect the extended Portuguese influence in Goa. Moreover, we’ll tour one of the initial residences in this locale and have the proprietor guide us through.
