This
Roman Catholic Cathedral close to St. Francis Church, was built
by the Portuguese and elevated to a Cathedral by Pope Paul IV in 1558.
In 1795, the British demolished the original building. Nearly a hundred
years later in 1887, Bishop Dom Gomez Ferriera commissioned a new building
which was proclaimed as a Basilica in 1984 by Pope John Paul II. Built
in the neo-classical style the pulpit is carved on wood and has a fantastic
pastel-coloured interior. This church has some very beautiful paintings
on the ceiling.
