Panaji's iconic white baroque church, built in 1619 and rebuilt in 1739, is the oldest church in Goa and one of the most photographed structures in India. Its gleaming white façade and dramatic twin bell towers dominate Church Square in central Panaji and glow beautifully when illuminated at night.
