Architecture of Goa

Category : - All India Travel Tourism > Goa >

Goa was under the control of the Potuguese for over four centuries till after India's independence in 1947 and it was liberated only in 1961. Goa's architecture is a class apart. It combines Portuguese, Indian and Mughal styles. Tourist traffic to the state is increasing. About 10 lakh people go there a year. And, tourism provides jobs for 20 per cent of the population in the state.The genius of the earliest builders in this land is evidenced in stuctures that awe us still: there is the great Stupa at Sanchi, India's finest surviving Buddhist monument that stands silent and still on the great plains of Sanchi. The smooth, round monument is guarded by four gateways rich with ancient sculpture - every inch carved by master craftsmen.
