About

The vast and stunning Church of St. Cajetan is located about half a kilometer away to the northeast of the Se Cathedral, and quite near the ruins of the Viceregal Palace. Its pattern is said to have been derived from the original design of the Basilica of St Peter in Rome. Built of laterite blocks and plastered with lime, the St Cajetan Church is an example of Corinthian architecture. However, there are Baroque elements in the gilded altars. The original name of the St Cajetan Church was The Church of Our Lady of Divine Providence. The St Cajetan Chuch was built by Italian friars of the Order of Theatines. Sent by Pope Urban III to preach Christianity in the kingdom of Golconda, the Friars finally settled down in Goa in 1640 when they failed to achieve their original mission. They obtained the site in 1655 and finally built the church in the 17th century. The church is named after the founder of the Theatine order, St.Cajetan (a contemporary of St.Francis Xavier).
