The façade, having two towers on either side to serve as a belfry, has Corinthian columns and pilasters supporting a pediment, and four niches, which keep the statues of the apostles.

Forgotten for a time, the last batch was removed only in 1992.

The tour was ok - it wasnt the tour operators fault that Goa isn't great and the things to see there aren't great. The tour guide did the best he could with Goa. Goa itself is not pretty, the sites to see aren't great - again this isn't the tour operators fault. Abi was good and the van had air conditioning and the spice plantation was definitely the best part.

A driver met us at the pier but without the guide. We drove for about an hour to the church where our guide, who was late, finally met us. Our guide was only marginally knowledgeable. He could not answer many of our questions. The churches are in very poor condition. The last part of the tour we went to a spice farm where we were offered lunch but we did not eat. We did have something to drink. The spice farm was interesting and we saw the resident elephant. In short, it is a very long way to go to see something that is just "ok" not great. We were not the only people disappointed. Folks who took other tours of Goa said the same thing. People had high expectations but Goa did not meet them.
