Description
This book chronicles the visual history of the Basilica of Bom Jesus, one of the longest-surviving churches from Goa's Portuguese colonial era. In the 16th century, this baroque church in Old Goa was constructed to house the sacred relics of St. Francis Xavier and is emblematic of Goa Dourada or Golden Goa.
