PLACES - GOA
ANCESTRAL
GOA
Ancestral Goa is built around the legend of Big Foot which
has endured over the centuries. The Big Foot is Goa's biggest
designer dance floor shaped like a giant foot and has been
created for the express purpose of being a versatile venue
for all types of functions and entertainment events like
weddings, anniversaries, seminars, dances etc...
OLD GOAN HOUSES
One legacy of the long period of Portuguese colonization which
is still quite in evidence and in everyday use is the magnificent
architecture of the traditional mansions of the Goan gentry.
Goa can perhaps claim to be the only place on the subcontinent
where houses dating back to the 1700s are still in pristine
condition and still inhabited by generations of the original
owners...
MUSEUMS IN GOA
