Ruins of forts and monuments tell tales of a glorious past, of changing fortunes, of a different, but nevertheless exciting Goa. Of the time of Kadamba rulers, of Adil Shah,of the Portuguese reign. Imposing churches and temples built in an era gone by stand as important landmarks in Goa's march in time down the ages. They are today major tourist attractions.

Added to these are the plazas, taverns and mansions which speak of Portugese presence in the land till recently.
