Off the beaten track - St Hyacinthi

Goa: On & Off the Beaten Track, Feb 07 Add comments

(Click on any pic to enlarge)

Continuing my series on Churches of Goa, on & off the beaten track, I present to you St. Hyacinthi Church. This beautiful church is on the island of St.Jacinto (Saõ Jacinto) in Chicalim which 7 kms from Vasco and is a comparitively lesser known church in Goa.

The “island” actually has a looong road through which one can access the church. This road apparently sometimes gets submerged at high tide and also during the monsoons cutting the church off from civilisation.

Locals will swear that the name of the church is not St. Hyacinthi (despite a large blue board on the church proclaiming it to be such!) and instead call it St. Jacinto Church.

The view from this church island is simply divine. I know I got some of my favorite pics from this trip on this island.
