Overview
This is Panjim's oldest surviving building. With its sloping tiled roofs, carved stone coats of arms and wooden verandahs, the stalwart secretariat looks typically colonial. Yet, it was originally The Summer Palace of Goa's 16th century Muslim ruler, Adil Shah. Later, the Portuguese converted it into a temporary rest house for the territory's Governors and then a residence for the Viceroy. Today, it accommodates the Goan State Legislature.The Adil Shah palace, Goa's erstwhile seat of governance, will transform into a centre for art and culture; its ministers' chambers
morphing into art galleries and its annexe turning into a mini theatre for performing arts.
