Caves
Numerous caves have been discovered throughout Goa, indicating the presence of human settlements. Some caves were used for residential purpose, some for religious, some for both, while the purpose of some of them is yet to be known. Some caves were natural, e.g. the caves at Verna and Rivona, while others like Lamgao caves were man-made and scooped in laterite. The Verna cave is the biggest one in Goa with a capacity of 1200 persons at a time. The religious caves, e.g. the three caves at Neuara, consisted of a Garbhagriha (Sanctum Sanctorum) and a Shivalinga.

Goa
offers an astoundingly rich architectural heritage to visitors. The extensive
excavations and preservation efforts carried out by the Archaeological Survey
of India have brought to the fore and restored remnants of ages in the form
of ancient sites such as caves, epigraphs, sculptures, religious places like
temples, churches, mosques, ancient forts, etc. Besides, a marvelous domestic
architecture presented in centuries-old houses of the aristocrats occupies a
prominent place in the itinerary of the lovers of architecture.
