Retracing Monte Santo (the Holy Hill Tour)
Join us on a two hour specially curated walk of the Holy Hill (or Monte Santo), in Old Goa, where we take you through the ruins of the imposing Augustinian Monastery, and let you soak in the blue interiors of the Royal Chapel of St Anthony. Stroll down the historic pathway that connects the Augustinian monuments through the flying buttresses of the Church of Santa Monica. While listening to enthralling stories about the cloistered nuns who once lived in the Convent of Santa Monica, explore the hidden artistic treasures discovered during the restoration of the Church and take a short walk-through the highlights of MoCA. And finally, marvel at the navigational influences on the Manuelian styled Church of Our Lady of the Rosary set against the dramatic backdrop of that river that enabled Old Goa to become a great global trading center of the 16th century.
The walk is aimed at students of art, architecture and history and anyone who is interested in being introduced to the heritage of Old Goa. This is ideal for groups of 15 or more. Schedule the date for your group tour from our Book Tickets page.
