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. The "New House" addition was built in the 18th century to match the family's growing power and influence. The Figueiredo Mansion is now a museum and food-tasting destination.
