Introduction to Mae De Deus Church

Nestled in the quaint town of Saligao, in the heart of North Goa's lush countryside, stands the majestic Mae De Deus Church, a neo-Gothic marvel that transports you to a bygone era. This stunning white edifice, with its pointed arches, buttresses, and soaring spires, resembles a fairy tale castle, especially when illuminated in the evening, casting a magical glow over the surrounding green hills. Built in 1873, this church is a testament to the blend of Portuguese and British architectural influences, housing a revered golden-painted wooden statue of the Mother of God, brought from the ruins of Old Goa. As you approach, the tranquil atmosphere and the church's grandeur evoke a sense of awe, making it a must-visit landmark in Saligao, where history, architecture, and spirituality converge in perfect harmony.
