St. Paul's Church, Diu - India

St. Paul's Church, Diu - India ...

St. Paul's church is dedicated to our Lady of Immaculate Conception.

The construction of the church was started in 1601 and was completed in the year 1610.

The main facade of the church is perhaps the most elaborate of all Portuguese churches in India.

The facade has been illuminated by flood lights.

The church adorned with curiously treated volutes and shell - like motifs and the magnificent wood carving is considered to be the most elaborate of all the Portugese churches in India.

 St. Paul Church, built in 1691 is consecrated to our Lady of Immaculate Conception.

 In architectural style it resembles Bom Jesus Church at Goa.

The dominant features are, no doubt, Gothic. The wood - panelling of the church is rated one of the best in church craftmanship.
