The colonial influence can be seen everywhere through its many well-preserved 16th century churches such as the Basilica of Bom Jesus and many other world-heritage architectures. Swaying palm trees, white sandy beaches and sparkling blue Arabian sea are also what hundreds of thousands local and international tourists flocked to Goa for, its pristine beaches like Calangute and Baga are world renowned.
