The Christian Art Trail, Old Goa

Summary

Goa has long been known for its churches and beaches. Most visitors to Goa make it a point to visit the monumental churches of Old Goa and come away with a few images of the monumental churches. However, there is something more to these churches that meet the eye! There are absolutely astounding works of art on the walls of these monumental buildings that will amaze you. From simple child-like drawings on the walls made in vegetable dyes and mineral pigments to the ancient art of ​KAAVI made with a paste of soil and charcoal filled into an etched design, these walls are, literally, worth a thousand words. Join us on a uniquely different tour of the churches of Santa Monica, Our Lady of Rosary, Royal Chapel of St. Anthony and the ruins of St Augustine and listen to these ancient art walls speak. The trail is for locals as well as tourists.
