Preserve Old Goa'sold world vintage charm Elvidio Miranda
Old Goa is one of the last bastions of the Renaissance era churches and spiritual heritage that has to be preserved since it houses the Basilica de Bom Jesus, Se Cathedral, Santa Monica monastery, Museum of Christian Art, the ruins of St. Augustine and the St. Cajetan church which are all in one place that celebrates architectures such as Gothic, Corinthian, Byzantine, Norman, Baroque which will never be able to be replicated. It is also the holy city which draws huge crowds like no other city in Goa and the last vestige that makes Goa to be called as the Rome of the East. This place is known for having exquisite architecture and which houses the sacred relics of the Goencho Saib whose blessings are sought by everyone who visits Goa. The replication of such an old world charm is not possible. It is the duty of the Government of India, the Archaeological Survey of India and all well meaning citizens of Goa to make it a point that under no circumstances should this old sacred city be adulterated by compromising its solemn spiritual heritage value. It should be an election issue for the residents of Old Goa and its neighbourhoood to join forces to prevent the desecration of this Old holy city that is venerated by one and all who visit Goa.
