1. Old Goa: The city was developed by the Bijapur Sultanate in the fifteenth century, and served as capital of Portuguese India from the sixteenth century until its surrender in the eighteenth century because of a plague. Under the Portuguese, it is said to have once been a city, populated more than 200,000, before the torment.

4. Mapusa: Friday Market is a notable weekly market, it’s in the northern side of Goa and an important vacation spot. It is situated outside the Mapusa Municipal Market.

Foreigners especially, from Europe, touch base in this lovely place, in winter while the mid-year and rainy seasons see an expansive number of Indian travelers.
Goa
is visibly different from the rest of India, owing to Portuguese rule which
isolated it from the rest of India for 451 years. Goan culture has been
shaped mainly by the Hindu and Catholic population. The best time of the
year to visit Goa is mid-November to mid-February when the weather is
comfortable, dry and pleasant. Goa's
state language is Konkani. Most Goans speak Konkani, English, Hindi, and
Marathi. Portuguese is also known by a small segment, especially the elite and
earlier privileged class or the older generation which studied in pre-1961
Portuguese-ruled Goa. It can be reached via its sole airport (Dabolim), by
train, and by the many buses connecting the state with cities in India
(primarily Mumbai, Mangalore and Bangalore). If you are travelling from Mumbai
or Pune, car travel will provide you a journey through breathtaking scenery of
the Konkan area.
First thing to bear in mind is
that when you are visiting Goa, you are visiting a whole state, not a city. So
there are several towns spread out with considerable distance between them and
so it is essential to prepare, or at least have an idea of, what kind of local
transportation you will be using while there.
Goa has a more than its fair
share of museums, art galleries and libraries. You will find many Government
run museums in Panaji, including the Goa State museum, the Kala Academy, the
Central Library and the Goa Science Centre. In Vasco da Gama, you can find the
Naval Aviation Museum, a great place to see vintage aircraft.
Goa is famous for its beaches,
ancient temples and churches, and the Goan carnival.
It is no exaggeration to call
Goa, a city of churches which are a proof of the rich history of the beach
city. During the initial stages of the Portuguese rule in the city, building of
church building was a favored activity, mainly because they wanted to spread
Christianity and convert as many people as was possible. These churches are
world-renowned as they have kept intact the old-world charm and thus are famous
as tourist attractions.
The temple is dedicated to the
deity of Lord Shiva. Shree Manguesh temple is located at Mangeshi in Priol,
Ponda Taluka,1 kilometer from Mardol close to Nagueshi, 22 km from Panaji the
capital of Goa and 26 km from Margao. Sri Mangesh temple is famous for its
pristine glory, which attracts thousands of visitors every year.
There is no doubt Goa has a lot
to gift to a traveler who is willing to spend a few days to explore its culture
and heritage. It is a tourist paradise, the record shows that 2.2% of all foreign tourists who visit India touch Goa.
