Architecture
The architecture of Goa is a delightful combination of India, Mughal and Portugal styles. Since the Portuguese ruled this place for two centuries, many churches and houses bear a striking element of the Portugal style of architecture. Goa was also under the Mughal rule and thus one finds monuments built in the typical Mughal style complete with the domes. The typical Goan architecture is very simple and easy going and is visible in buildings like modern churches, houses, etc.
The Temple architecture of Goa is a synthesis of various styles and is an amalgamation of the Northern Style and the Deccani style. During the Portuguese regime all the temples in the Old Conquest areas were destroyed. We thus have no old temples there. In the “New Conquest” areas, however, there are remains of some very old temples.
