Adil Shah Palace (Panaji)

India / Goa / Panaji
 interesting place, historical building
This is Panjim's oldest surviving building. With its sloping tiled roofs, carved stone coats of arms and wooden verandahs, the stalwart secretariat looks typically colonial. Yet, it was originally The Summer Palace of Goa's 16th century Muslim ruler, Adil Shah. Later, the Portuguese converted it into a temporary rest house for the territory's Governors and then a residence for the Viceroy. For a long time it served as the Secretariat/Legislature of the State of Goa. Currently it is stated to be a museum after the legislature was moved to Porvorim. (Orlando deMelo)
