Hotel Description

Pearl of the Orient


The state capital Panjim is located in North Goa - a district famous for its churches, cathedrals and beaches. Three kilometres west of Panjim lies the Miramar beach. Four kilometres further on lies Dona Paula, where several resort and holiday complexes have come up around a fishing village. The main tourist attractions are the Calangute, Baga and Candolim beaches, along with the Anjuna, Chapora and Vagator beaches popular for midnight raves, especially on full moon nights.

Built on the banks of the Mandovi River, Panjim officially became the capital of Goa in 1843. One can still see the Portuguese influence in the architecture. The old district, Fontainhas, lies to the west of the Ourem River. It is an interesting place to walk around, with narrow streets and an atmosphere reminiscent of the Mediterranean. The Panjim Inn is a beautiful old building worth a visit.

At the centre of Fontainhas stands the chapel of St Sebastian that dates back to the 1880s. A striking crucifix, which originally stood in the 'palace of the inquisition' in old Goa, is just one of the interesting features of the chapel. Also worth a visit is the church of the Immaculate Conception.

The secretariat is another building of interest in Panjim.. This 16th century building was originally Adil Shah's palace. In 1759, it became the viceroy's official residence. The building has an intriguing statue of a man apparently about to strangle a woman. It is the statue of Abbe Faria, a famous hypnotist, and his assistant.

Shopping is a priority for most tourists. The place is known for handicrafts like brassware, terracotta, shell work, crochet, carved furniture, bamboo work, etc. Goan cuisine covers a range of flavours and tastes, thanks to the influence of many cultures. Seafood is available in many varieties and forms. Fish curry and rice is the staple food among most communities residing in Goa, with coconut and coconut milk being common ingredients.
Must-buy items: cashew nuts, Goan wine, feni (a local spirit)
