Patriarchal Seminary of Rachol - Seminary in Rachol - South Goa, India

It's very beautiful and marvellous infrastructure. Must Visit Place in South Goa

Steeped in about 400 years of history and still standing proud and all. We did a walking tour of the seminary with Goan shutterbugs and everything was explained to us so thoroughly. The Church itself is so well maintained and immaculately kept. There's even a working pipe organ and century old paintings are restored to their former glory. Some earlier paintings were done directly onto the wall and not on a canvas. The Seminary's grounds are really well maintained too. If you're a butterfly lover you'll be sure to spot a lot of species in the front garden. The best time to visit Rachol is just after the monsoons. Everything is so beautifully green and the rivers and creeks are full. You can even take a 10 minute walk down to the ferry point and take a ride across the river free of charge. (Only cars are charged)

It is the ancient seminary started by the Jesuit fathers and now being run by the Goa archdiocese. It's a spectacular building with wide corridors and ancient paintings. The chapels are beautiful with fine artwork. The museum has great and ancient artifats. It's a great source of inspiration for visitors.

Great historical place for the Potuguese and Goan history. Must visit if you're in Goa.

Peaceful, immaculately maintained and full of history. Must visit if you are near Madgaon Area in Goa!

Historic wonder! The seminary is huge, has a well maintained garden too. Even has a hidden tunnel

Beautiful and peaceful.. Visited it on Christmas Eve,..
