The Our Lady of the Immaculate
Conception Church
is in Panjim, Goa, India. It was first built in 1541 as a chapel by the
Portuguese and it was replaced by a larger church in the 1600s. It was built to
serve the religious needs of Portuguese sailors at their first port of call in
colonial Portuguese India. At that time the settlement was a small fishing
village.
