India Goa Map in Russian. Cards of Goa

Goa on the map is not an island at all, as many believe. Goa - part of the mainland. Here is a Russian Goa card with parts on indiagoa.ru:



Central Goa

This part of the state includes three districts and the capital of Panja - the largest and most denselyed (95 thousand people) city in Goa. He is famous for his old Portuguese quarter, among attractions you can note the Church of St. Sebastian, the secretariat building - the fortified Palace of Yusuf Adil Shaha. Near the building of the secretariat is a sculptural composition, which resembles the scene from the horror movie - a harsh man with a flossy hair pulls his hands to the throat of a lying woman. This is a monument to Abbot Faria - one of the most famous followers of Franz Anton Mesmer, who used hypnosis for the treatment of various diseases. The Church of the Immaculate Mother of God, built in the middle of the 16th century, is also of interest. Interestingly, the building of the Central Library, which occupies a part of the former army barracks. It was in the capital that we looked at the movie Hobbit -
9 kilometers from Panji is the old Goa - the focus of the most important Christian temples of India, including the Basilica, where the netted remains of St. Francis Schavier - the patron of Christians not only India, but also south-East Asia. Initially, it was this city that was the capital of the Portuguese colony, but the epidemic of cholera, devasting him in the middle of the 17th century, forced to transfer the capital closer to the ocean, in Panji. Of course, the old Goa with his small houses, non-fourth streets, short distances, long-term sest and numerous Catholic holidays looks like a provincial town, but his charm does not get less. The old quarters carefully keep the medieval Portuguese atmosphere: the curves of the street with many small shops and bars, over the doors of which swinging signs, which have not changed the last 200 years, red tiled roofs, pastel tones of walls, openwork hinged balconies.
Among historic I. architectural monuments Old Goa can be allocated Cathedral Saint Catherine. It covers an area of \u200b\u200b76 by 55 meters and is the largest Christian temple of Asia. The exterior decoration of the temple is made in Tuscan style, the interior is striking by proportions and magnificent modesty. The main bell of the cathedral is the largest in Goa, he is called "golden" for his sound. His ringing is heard at 14 km around, but if you stand next to him, then only a very tender and quiet melody is heard.
Hindu temples with the arrival of Muslims and Portuguese in the 13-15th centuries were mostly destroyed, so those that can be seen currently are either newly built or restored with large changes. Since this construction and recovery took place during the reign of Portuguese, the architecture of the temples turned out very peculiar. For example, the mangoes temple. Mangles was the reincarnation of Shiva. His architecture carries the features of Christianity (the octagonal tower, the facade, decorated with columns) and Muslim (the dome design of the roof). Since the first temple, only water capacity has been preserved.
1 km from the mannisha temple there is a Males Temple. A Christian influence is also traced here. But as a mangash was the reincarnation of Shiva, so Mahals is also a reincarnation of Vishnu, but only in a female image. Such. short description The main attractions of the Central Goa.

North Goa

The charm of North Goa differs from the central one. This is the most developed area in terms of tourism. In the stormy 70s of the 20th century, Goa was Mecca for Hippie. These times remained in the past. Now the beaches of the North are occupied by tourists with different levels of income, but mainly it is young people traveling with backpacks or specially arrived on vacation, which are content with rather modest placement, but very fond of cheerful and rich nightlife. North Goa It is famous for the abundance of restaurants, where fish and seafood are perfectly prepared. The chain of beaches from before, if you look at the card from top to bottom, including Anjuna and, is the most fun place on the north of the state. Here are the crowds of former hippies, wanderers, monks, celebrating dreamers, artists and artists, zoo.
The place is known for its flea market operating on Wednesdays. Here you can simultaneously see merchants from Tibet and Kashmir, picturesque women from Gudjarat tribes, ex-hippie, Indian tourists, charternikov from around the world, etc. The market has occurred spontaneously: travelers had to sell their things to get some money and To live for some time in this paradise.
Interesting is also the Sabbath night market in arpor. Local hippies are traded here with your crafts. Here they come to sit in mobile vegetarian cafes and watch a short view on a small pop, built of girlfriend.

South Goa.

The terrain that lies below the Zuari River is called South Goa. This is the most unbelievable part of the state. Here is the most picturesque nature, and the beaches are the widest and snow-white. Settlements significantly less than in the center and in the north. Currently, almost all the coast has been redeemed by large investors and the construction of hotels is a very high level. There are almost no historical attractions. In the south of the state is the largest in Goa Reserve - Cotigao. Here is S. looking Tower You can observe the wild life of the jungle: Indian bison, barking deer, sambarov, sacking, etc.
Separately, I want to stay on overall characteristic beaches Goawhich are rightfully one of the main tourist attractions of the state.

Beach

The beaches of the northern part of Goa are yellowish-grayish and reddish-grayed due to the special composition of the sand. They are readily visited local residents Hindu religion that the sunset of the sun is watching the evening.
In the center of Goa about the beaches do not have to speak. Beach hotels - man-made works, their good condition is supported by artificially by the efforts of the hotels themselves. Water here is weakly salty due to the tributary fresh water From the Rivers of Mandodi and Zuari, but it is still nice to swim.
In the south, the beaches are white and wide, sand is small, dense and bulk at the same time. Water is more transparent. The local population does not go out here to accompany the sun in such quantities as in the north. But here are more fishing artels who catch fish in the morning with networks and wanderings. This is happening in the morning, therefore it does not cause anxiety to tourists, but even gives some exotic.

Map of beans on Goa

There is a legend about how this place was created.
