A historic 17th-century church on a hill in Sinquerim, offering panoramic sea views and a peaceful atmosphere.
Situated on a small hill overlooking the Aguada Bay, St. Lawrence Church in Sinquerim is a simple yet elegant white-washed structure. Its location offers expansive views of the confluence of the Mandovi River and the Arabian Sea, making it a peaceful spot away from the busier nearby beaches. The church is dedicated to St. Lawrence, who is considered the patron saint of sailors and the poor, a fitting dedication for a chapel that historically served the local fishing and seafaring communities.
