Fontainhas Heritage Walk – Discover Latin Quarters and Colonial History

Tucked away in the heart of Panaji lies Fontainhas — a vibrant Latin Quarter and one of Goa’s best-kept secrets. Famed for its brightly coloured Portuguese villas, narrow winding streets, tiled roofs, and old-world ambience, Fontainhas stands as a living canvas of Goa's colonial legacy. This heritage precinct has been recognized by UNESCO and continues to charm visitors with its timeless beauty, preserved traditions, and artistic spirit.
