Arc Viceroy of Goa

1 review of Arc Viceroy of Goa

City gate

Porte de ville

Cet arc monumental, ancienne porte de Old Goa, donne directement sur le fleuve Mandovi. C'est que les Vice-Rois arrivaient par bateau depuis le lointain Portugal. Il passaient sous cette arche pour venir prendre leurs fonctions, d'une durée, en général, de 5 ans. Ils recevaient sous l'arche les clés de la ville. Le vice-roi Francisco da Gama ordonna la construction de cet arc en 1597, en l'honneur de son ancêtre Vasco de Gama : le célèbre navigateur figure en pied, côté fleuve. Le monument est de style manuélin, le gothique final portugais. Aujourd'hui le lieu est agréablement ombragé.
