Margao is a buzzing commercial town today and the Holy Spirit Church (Largo de Igreja) stands tall in the Old Market square. It was originally built by Jesuit missionaries in 1564 but was destroyed in 1571. It was then rebuilt in 1645. It took 30 years to complete the church building that we have today. This Church was consecrated in 1675. Its architecture is one of the finest examples of the Indian Baroque style. The outer facade consists of a pristine white façade and towers on either side with a central dome structure. The church has a beautiful interior replete with a pipe organ (which is currently being renovated). The heavily decorated altars inside are dedicated to Immaculate Conception of Mary, St Peter, St. Michael etc. Its interiors are dripping with gilt crystal and stucco.
