This Church is one of the oldest Churches in Goa. It was built in 1661. It is a site where the mortal remains of the revered Patron Saint of Goa "Saint Francis Xavier" lie in a casket behind the altar. Its architecture is very beautiful. It is surrounded by lush green trees and also there is a beautiful landscape area in front of the church... It's a very peaceful place...It also contains artifacts, paintings, and sculptures that testify to Goa’s rich and vibrant history.

Such a great church i have ever visited. It has a mummy of Saint Francis which is shown to public after every 10 years. last time it was shown in 2014. This church has a sculpture of crucified Jesus Christ which hot red colour because it has bleed in many occasions. Moreover the church has an art gallery, light and sound program and a book store as well. Art gallery charges Rs 5/- per person snd light and sound show is Rs 20/- per person. It is the best church in Old Goa.
