Fontainhas goa

This is an old part of town between the hillock of Altinho and the Rua de Ourem creek. It gets its name from the multitude of springs in the area. Its narrow streets gives one the impression of being in Portuguese Goa. At the southern end of this section is situated The Church of St. Sebastian, in which stands today the “Crucifix of the Inquisition ” which formerly hung in the Palace of the Inquisition in Old Goa. It was moved here in 1918 from the chapel in Idalcao’s palace.
