Introduction to Menezes Braganca House

Tucked away in the charming village of Chandor in South Goa, the Menezes Braganca House is a testament to the rich and storied past of Goa's Portuguese era. This 17th-century mansion, stretching along one entire side of the village square, is a behemoth of heritage and grandeur. Divided into the West and East Wings, each side tells a unique tale of the Braganza family's legacy. Step into the West Wing, and you're enveloped in a world of Belgian glass chandeliers, Italian marble floors, and an array of antique treasures from Macau, Portugal, China, and Europe. The air is thick with history, from the extensive library of Dr. Luís de Menezes Bragança to the small family chapel hiding a relic of St. Francis Xavier. Here, every room whispers stories of lavish balls, colonial intrigue, and the enduring spirit of Goan aristocracy.
