Location
Church of the Holy Spirit at Margao is positioned in the town square in the old market area. The revered place is also known as Largo De Igreja and was constructed by Jesuit missionaries in 1564.
In series of historic events, the church was destroyed in 1571 and was erected again in 1645. Church attractions are the richly decorated altars dedicated to Immaculate Conception of Mary. Consecrated in 1675, the church has pristine white façade of Indian Baroque artwork.
The interiors are ripe with gilt, crystal and stucco. The church stands at a place where a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Damodar stood in 1585 and was destroyed by the Portuguese.
