A World Heritage Site, Basilica of Bom Jesus serves as the final resting place for widely revered Saint Francis Xavier. Consecrated in 1605, the church and its grand mausoleum housing the canonized Roman Catholic missionary are considered a landmark in Christian architecture. As you approach India's first minor basilica you will be struck by the simplicity of its Jesuit Baroque architecture, looming over the historic streets of Old Goa. Inside, an ornate gilded altarpiece greats you with a warm glow, to the right of which the mortal body of the saint lies, enshrined in the church since 1622.

Visiting the Basilica was the best and pleasing experience of all my visit in Goa. One of the world's Heritage site marked by UNESCO. It's calm, Peaceful and blessed. It's 300 years old with Roman Catholic built by Portuguese. It has the Basilica of St.Francis Xavier's and is ornamented with Gold. The entrance is inscribed with all the detailing of that times.
