Sao Bras Church




Sao Bras Church is located on a small hillock at Gandaulim village in North Goa District. Built in 1563, the Church houses the imposing wooden images of Santa Luzia and Our Lady of Health, which were brought here with the extinction of the church of Santa Luzia.

The main altar of the church is dedicated to Sao Bras. Apart from this, the church has other two altars dedicated to Our Lady of Victory along with St Joseph and Our Lady of Health. This church is also noted for ancient paintings. Two bells, bearing the images of Sao Bras and Santa Luzia, are the other interests.
