About Salcette Tourism

Salcette is a cluster of 66 islands in South Goa district, with Madgao as its main urban centre. It is also known as 'Shasti' spelt by the Goans as Saxtty. Having been ruled by Hindu, Muslim, and Portuguese rulers over the centuries, the area has many monuments and relics that are a reminder of this rich heritage. There was a famous Vishnu temple in this area that drew pilgrims from all over; however it was destroyed by Muslim invaders. When the Portuguese took over Salcette, they built many churches here, some of which are tourism highlights of today. There is a range of accommodation options in Salcette, from the very posh luxury resorts, to mid-and budget hotels. Two of the five star hotels here have casinos, adding to the excitement of nightlife here.

 

Sightseeing Highlights:

 

Rachol Fort is about 7 km from Madgaon, and has a Seminary alongside it on top of the hill-side. The views from here are stupendous. The fort has an ancient history, with Vijaynagar and Bahmani Kings fighting for its control, and later the Portuguese taking it over
