Is Nossa Senhora do Monte a Church?
Mgr. Francisco Gomes Catao in Anuario da Arquidiocese de Goa , 1955,
refers to it as a Chapel, so also many other sources. Today it is known as
Capela do Monte.

The panorama of Velha Goa is splendidly reproduced in this picture. It
reflects the inspired words of the poet TOMAS RIBEIRO [1831-1901]:
Eis a cidade morta, a solitária Goa
Seis templos alvejando entre um palmar enorme
Eis o Mandovi-Tejo, a oriental Lisboa
Onde em jazigo régio imensa glória dorme
There are really six churches (rather than five) as the poet says.
Reading from left to right:
1. Nossa Senhora da Divina Providência [S. Caetano]
2. Nossa Senhora do Monte
3. Sé (Santa Catarina)
4. Espírito Santo [S. Francisco]
5. Bom Jesus
6. Nossa Senhora do Rosário
