Fontainhas Goa: A Colorful Journey Through Goa's Portuguese Heritage
A heritage walk in Fontainhas, the Portuguese colony of Goa, was a journey back in time. It gave me a sense of appreciation for the passion of the state to keep the legacy alive. Goa has a history of being ruled by various empires which resulted into a rare cultural heritage influenced by Indians, Mughals and Catholic Portuguese which reflects in the lifestyle of Goans.
Fontainhas is a heritage colonial quarter in the centre of Panjim, where the influential Portuguese rulers lived. The Portuguese style old villas and buildings with overhanging balconies in the narrow and winding lanes reflect the old European architecture. The blue, yellow and green coloured houses make up a vibrant and cheerful locality.
