| About Panjim Tourism |
|
The city of Panjim lies on the banks of the River Mandovi and is connected to the mainland by bridges. It is Goa's third largest city, after Vasco and Margao. While its official name has been Panaji since the 1960's, it was called Panjim by the Portuguese, who ruled Goa for over 400 years. Panjim,
for many centuries was a neglected fishing village of creeks, fields
and coconut trees. In 1632, the then Viceroy decided to link it to the
village of Ribandar with a causeway 3.2 kms long, which was at that
time the longest bridge in Goa. You can see it even today, and it is called Pointe de Linhares after the man who commissioned it. The original capital of the Portuguese was Old Goa, now a World Heritage |
