Sanctuary of Blessed St. Joseph Vaz at Sancoale

Located within the evocative ruins of the 17th-century São João de Deus church, this sanctuary is dedicated to St. Joseph Vaz, the "Apostle of Sri Lanka," who celebrated his first mass here in 1675. The surviving Baroque façade and laterite stone walls make it a revered pilgrimage site and a protected historical monument.

Igreja da Nossa Senhora de Saúde (Church of Our Lady of Health) in Sancoale

The Church of Our Lady of Health (locally known as 'Sancoale Church') has origins dating to 1606. Its original structure, damaged by an 1834 fire, left a riverside façade now protected as a national monument (1937). The current parish church dates from 1783. Within the parish grounds is the Sanctuary of Blessed Joseph Vaz, established in 1911. This Goa-born saint, later a missionary in Sri Lanka, was declared a Patron Saint of Goa in 2000.

St. Lawrence Martyr Church in Agaçaim

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Zuari River, this mid-16th century church is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors. It is famed for its distinctive octagonal tower, a unique architectural feature among Goan churches, and its feast day on August 10th is celebrated with great devotion.

Pilar Seminary at Pilar, Goa Velha

A major Capuchin seminary founded in 1613, this hilltop complex is a key centre for priestly formation and spiritual retreat. It houses a museum with significant Christian artefacts and offers panoramic views, making it a place for both learning and quiet contemplation.

It is renowned for the vibrant Pejechem Fest, held on the second Sunday of Easter, where thousands gather for a procession and are served sacred Pez, believed to have healing properties. Local folklore also holds that a Portuguese-built protective tunnel runs beneath it, said to extend under the sea to Dona Paula or San Jacinto Island.
