One of the oldest churches of Goa, the Holy Spirit Church, a 450+ years old structure, located in the heart of Margao Goa, holds great secrets that cannot be found in any other church in the world, right from its architecture to a special phenomenon that takes place every year!
We also explore a Goan mansion full of mysteries! The infamous 'Margao Massacre' has taken place here, with some marks that speak of the battles that were fought in the making of Margao.
