Chapel of St. Catherine of Alexandria

India / Goa / Jua / Old Goa (Velha Goa), Goa 403402

Goa was 'reconquered' by Afonso de Albuquerque on November 25, 1510, the feast of St. Catherine of Alexandria. This is the reason why, at the place he managed to breach the fortifications of Adil Shah, he built a Chapel in commemoration, the Capela de Santa Catarina. St. Catherine is also the Patroness of the immense Cathedral erected nearby.
