Introduction to St. Inez Church

Perched atop a hill overlooking the bustling city of Panjim and the serene Mandovi river, St. Inez Church stands as a tranquil oasis amidst the vibrant urban landscape. This historic chapel, dedicated to Saint Agnes, has been a steadfast landmark since its humble beginnings as a small chapel in 1584, built by Dom Francisco d’Eca and his wife Dona Joana de Menezes. With its Mannerist Neo-Roman architecture, fluted capitals, and twin bell towers, the church exudes a timeless elegance. The adjacent cemetery, established in 1879, adds a poignant layer to the site, while the recent aesthetic renovations, including beautiful azulejo panels, enhance its interior charm. As you step into this white-washed haven, the sounds of the city fade, replaced by an aura of peace and historical richness that invites you to linger and absorb the essence of Goa's colonial past.

🎉 This church is a hidden gem for a fun day out After a morning mass, we explored the nearby Stella Maris Chapel and then hit the bars and restaurants in the area. The vibe is chill, and it's a great spot to relax before a night out in Panjim. Plus, the annual feast celebrations are a blast 🎶🍻
