Old Goa is a locality around 10 kilometres north of the capital city of Panjim. It’s a historically and architecturally rich place and served as the capital of Goa during the Portuguese rule. Old Goa, locally known as Velha Goa, was built by the Bijapur administration in the 15th century before it was taken over by the Portuguese. Old Goa today isn’t very densely populated. This wasn’t always the case, once upon a time it was one of the most populated places in Goa, but disease and epidemics forced people to move out during the 17th century. From then on, it came to be known as Velha Goa and what is now known as Panjim, Nova Goa.
