Title:

The Konkun Coast, Chaul. Ruins of the Franciscan church of St Barbara. Photographer: Venn, Thomas Walters

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

The ruins of the settlement are extensive, and among other edifices, forlorn and devastated is the house of the Domicans and the Misericordia. St Francis Xavier visited Chaul on his voyages from Goa to Bassein. This fact is confirmed by a white marble tablet let into a very small dwelling (?) bearing the inscription.

Translation:

"St Francis Xavier having resided at this place in his way towards the North, this chapel was built by Dom Gillianed Noronha, Captain of this Fort, to the memory and praise of the Saint, in the year 1640."
