Viceroys Arch, Goa - History details

Viceroy’s Arch in Old Goa, constructed in 1597 by Viceroy Francisco da Gama, honors his ancestor Vasco da Gama. Serving as the ceremonial entry to Velha Goa during Portuguese rule, the arch stands near the Mandovi River amid UNESCO‑recognized heritage monuments. Its engraved coat of arms and weathered laterite structure fascinate historians. The Feast of St. Francis Xavier in early December brings heightened activity to the surrounding precinct.
