An iconic, whitewashed Portuguese Baroque church in the heart of Panjim, famous for its unique zig-zagging staircases and historic bell.
Sitting atop a small hill overlooking the city square, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception Church is one of Panjim's most recognizable landmarks. Its brilliant white facade, constructed in the Portuguese Baroque style, is immediately striking. The most distinctive feature is the symmetrical, zig-zagging double staircase that leads up to the main entrance, a design element added in the 1870s. This active parish church serves the local Catholic community and attracts visitors with its elegant architecture and historical presence.
