Church of St. Francis Assisi : The church interior contains gilded and carved woodwork, a stunning reredos (ornamented screen behind the altar), old murals depicting scenes from the life from St. Francis and a floor made of carved gravestones - complete with family coats of arms dating back to the early 16 century.

The church was built by eight Franciscan friars who arrived here in 1517 and constructed a small chapel consisting of three altars and a choir. This was later pulled down and the present building was constructed on the same spot in 1661.

A convent behind this church is now the archaeological museum (admission Rs 5, Friday closed, no photography). It houses the portraits of Portuguese viceroys, sculpture fragments from Hindu temple sites, and stone vetal images from the animist cult that flourished in this part of India centuries ago.

St Catherine chapel is nearby.
