Historical Places

We visited many places but, I think it's really important to visit historical places. whenever we go out for vacations it's important to gain some historical knowledge about that place. The checkered past of Goa speaks volumes about those invaded the city and planted their indelible off-springs in the form of forts on the soil here. Filch into the historical pages of Goa to collar the bygone plunderers in their reminiscent like Fort Cabo da Rama on the southern coast of Goa, Fort Chapora, Fort Aguada , St Augustus Monastery. Besides this, Goa has also sunk its teeth deep into religiosity, the century old churches and architecture tell you a whole tale of it. Almost all the architectural works of Goa have borrowed some semblance of the Portuguese, Indian and Mughal styles. People of Goa follow the religion of being Goan first. It's no wonder that all festivals are celebrated there after. Visiting Goa during these festivals lever your banging spirit and the zest for life. Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi and Dussehra equal the celebrations of other festivals.
