About Our Lady of the Mount Chapel
A small white chapel on a hill above Old Goa, built in the early 1500s and rarely crowded. From the front steps you can see the churches and the Mandovi flats below, and the view is especially good at sunset. The hill is a short, steep climb from the road and has little shade. Many tourists miss it, which is the reason to go.

- View over the churches of Old Goa
- Hilltop chapel from the 1500s
