Fontainhas (quarter)

Fontainhas (quarter)

Fontainhas (or Bairro das Fontainhas, in Portuguese) is an old "Latin Quarter" in the city of Panaji in Goa, India. It maintains to this day its Portuguese influence, namely at the architectonic level, such as narrow streets, old villas and buildings painted in lively colors. The quarter shows how Panaji was during the Portuguese rule of Goa.
