Popular Sightseeing Places
1. Church of St. Francis of Assisi
The Church of St. Francis of Assisi was built by the Portuguese in 1661. It is a Roman Catholic church known for its stunning wall and pillar carvings. The adjoining archaeological museum is worth exploring. The main gate follows a distinctly Mauline style, while the exteriors carry Tuscan influences throughout. Inside, the baroque-infused main altar features rib-vaulted ceilings without traditional aisles, a relatively rare architectural feature. Wooden carvings throughout depict scenes from the life of the church's patron saint. A few relics from old Hindu temples are also preserved within its walls.

Visitors can spot dolphins from the shore or simply relax on sunbeds while watching local fishermen go about their daily work. Beach shacks here serve fresh seafood throughout the day.

Standing at Goa's northernmost tip, Terekhol Fort overlooks Querim Beach across the Terekhol River, with a 100-year-old parish church at its center. Built in the 18th century by the Raja of Sawantwadi, it came under Portuguese rule in 1746. Now the fort is a heritage hotel offering modern comforts alongside its historic charm. Visitors can also opt for dolphin-watching boat trips and guided heritage walks around the grounds. Panoramic cliffside views make it memorable.

The beach gets its name from the butterflies that gather here in large numbers at certain times. Its difficult access helps keep the crowds away, maintaining its quiet and unspoiled charm.
