The Palace of the Governor, Palacio de Sao Paolo in Portuguese, is a must see as much for its eclectic collection of colonial memorabilia as for the history of the edifice. Erected as a Jesuit convent in 1674, this large red structure became the Governor’s Palace shortly after the Portuguese expelled the Jesuits from their colonies in 1759. Today, the building is home to a museum displaying colonial furniture and works of art. The maritime exhibit, located on the ground floor, and Chapel, noted for its 17th century Goan pulpit and alter, are of particular interest.
