Basilica of Bom Jesus (Borea Jezuchi Bajilika)

Built at the turn of the 17th century by Florentine sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini, the Basilica of Bom Jesus stands as one of India’s oldest churches and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in Goa, this red-stone structure is dedicated to the baby Jesus but is most renowned for housing the remains of St. Francis Xavier, the patron saint of Goa. Visitors can explore the basilica’s historic architecture and pay their respects at the ornate tomb, which draws pilgrims and tourists alike.
