Overview
The Figueiredo Mansion, built in 1590, is home to Goa's most influential family for over 400 years. Designed by Jesuit priests from the nearby Rachol Seminary to accommodate the newly-converted Goan family, it boasts a sumptuous interior that contrasts beautifully with the natural surroundings of paddy fields and coconut trees.
