About Panjim
Panjim or Panaji, means "the land that does not flood", it is the capital of Goa and a small and charming city on the banks of silvery Mandovi River. A collection of Red Roofed latin style houses protected by a hilltop fort, and surrounded by stagnant swampland, statues and avenues lined with Gulmohar, Acassia and other trees, numerous small bars and cafe's shows the culture and strong history of Goa. It's a town utterly unique to the sub-continent, yet for most travellers it tends to be a quick after thought to a Goa beach holiday. Some fantastic government buildings along the riverside like the Idalcao Palace, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, Braganza Institute, Jama Masjid, Mahalaxmi Temple, attracts people from all over the world.
