Nice pictures. You can walk in here to pay respect to St Francis Xavier, one of the founders of the Society of Jesus. The silver casket inside the cathedral here holds his remains. He had wished to be buried in Goa and even though he died on his way to China, his remains were handed over to the church authorities. Explore all best hotels in Goa also.
