About this listen

Explore Old Goa as a walking landscape of memory, once the capital of Portuguese India and now a vast, contemplative ruin where history feels more present because it is unfinished. Through its monumental churches, open grounds, and fragments like the St. Augustine Tower, Old Goa reveals how faith, power, trade, and disease shaped a city that rose quickly and faded just as dramatically. Rather than treating these sites as isolated monuments, the narrative follows them as part of a lived urban fabric—best understood slowly, on foot, and with context.
