Lady Of The Mount

The road leads to a hill on which, commanding a picturesque view, is the Chapel of Our Lady of the Mount. A series of steps leads to the Chapel, which is built of laterite plastered with lime mortar. It has three main altars dedicated respectively to our lady of the mount, St. Anthony and St. Andrew.

In Old Goa, on the summit of hillock opposite the Se Cathedral stands the Church of Our Lady of the Mount (Feast day, 8 September). Neat stone steps leads up to the top. The Chapel was constructed by Alphinsi de Albuquerque in 1510. The chapel was made to mark the victory of Alphnso over Goa.
