Reis Magos Church, Bardez

       The church is adjacent to the Reis Magos Fort. It was built in 1555 and dedicated to the three Magi-Kings.

This was one of the earliest churches of Goa and the first in Bardez taluka . A seminary was added to the church, which became a very important seat of learning.

Its importance can be judged by the fact, that it was once the residence of all dignitaries and also a mission center of the Franciscan order.

The best time to visit this Church is during the Feasts, on this occasion, the story of three kings is recreated with young local boys doing the play.
