I recently visited the Basilica of Bom Jesus and was impressed by its stunning architecture and historical significance. The church is incredibly well-maintained, and the tranquility of the surroundings is palpable. However, I was disappointed to find that photography is not allowed within the church premises. While I understand the need to preserve the sanctity of the space, it was frustrating to have to hide my camera to take photos. It would be wonderful if the authorities could reconsider this policy or provide designated areas for photography. Despite this, the Basilica of Bom Jesus remains a must-visit destination for its cultural and religious significance. I recommend it to anyone interested in history, architecture, and spirituality. Must visit in your Goa Trip.

Reportedly, started work in 1594 and finished by 1605. In the history of Indian Christanity, this is an important place, as the holy body of St.Francis Xavier is kept here, he was one of the founders of the Jesuit movement. We visited around noon, lots of crowds. We were here 10 years ago and more places were accessible inside. It's free entry and the main attraction is the mortal remains of St.Francis Xavier, kept on a glass box. It's up there and not much can be seen. Other than that, it's a large Church and lots of space to walk around. No photography inside, but you have great photo options around, large space, good photo ops all around. For the religious, it's a pilgrimage place, it's a sacred place and the pews are open only when service is on. It's a world heritage site and one of the biggest attractions in Goa after the beaches.

This is an historical church of Goa and very immortal church the body of Saint Francis Xavier's is preserved here and this is the year when the body of Saint Francis Xavier's body will be open for public for three months November December and January so any body want to visit and take blessings of them then they could visit there the next opportunity will come in 2034 after every 10 year you can get opportunity. The body was preserved here from more then 400 years. This is heritage site. Enjoy your trip and get memory with you.

This historic church is admired for its impressive architecture, construction, and interior. It is a combination of multiple churches and offers a museum with historical artifacts. A unique feature is the preserved body of St. Francis Xavier, a follower of Jesus Christ. Visitors can see his body up close, along with his clothing and other personal items. The church is a peaceful place for prayer and reflection, surrounded by shops selling holistic items. There are clean restrooms and ample parking.
