Latin Quarter, Goa

Latin Quarter


                                  Gallery Gitanjali in Fontainhas, Goa. - Sharell Cook


The Fontainhas Latin Quarter is one of the main attractions in Goa's capital city, Panjim. It sits below Altinho, an affluent hilltop area in the center of the city, and gets its name (meaning "fountain") from Fonte Phoenix (the Fountain of Phoenix) spring at the foot of the hill.
Fontainhas was declared a UNESCO Heritage Zone in 1984. You'll be transported back in time as you wander past colorful old Portuguese homes, belonging to the last surviving Portuguese families of Goa.
