Travel to Peninsular India: Old Goa: Photo 10

world pictures Peninsular India: Old Goa

Perhaps a hundred yards up the road is this last vestige of the palace of Yusuf Adil Khan, the last Muslim ruler in Goa. For a long time his palace was used by the Portuguese viceroys, but they eventually moved their capital downstream to less cholera-prone Pangim (=Panjim =Panaji). In 1820 Adil Khan's palace was demolished and its stone reused in the new city. Only this gateway survived. The design is Indian except for the scroll on the lintel, which is a Portuguese "improvement."
