Please identify this old bridge (Still in use) Where in Goa? And how Old? http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukbridges/4339953707/sizes/l/ see the plantt/tree grown on it see it closer here http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukbridges/4339929513/sizes/l/
It’s about 125 meter long bridge and about 3.5 mtrs wide There are four pillars/opening seen in the pic for water passage etc but there are atleast 3 more, one left side and two right side, now seems reclaimed by nature. It is obvious that the river was wider and the water was flowing/ passing through all 7 openings say many years ago. And it could be over 300 years If you know or find anything about this bridge, let me also know. Tips: It’s not in Canacona, Sanguem, Quepem, Ponda, Bicholim, Satari, Pernem or Mormugao talukas We did talk about another bridge some months ago across the same river. Ok, here is another pictorial clue – The tree looks as if standing in the water http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukbridges/4340697892/sizes/l/ This is the other side of the bridge http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukbridges/4340790924/sizes/l/ Note: No one has come back on the previous posting re- St. Simao Church on it's age/ history etc. Except, Rajan says it is more than 400 years old and older than the Batim Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe (1541). http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukchurches2/4334740501/sizes/l/ -- [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc The INTERNET now has a personality.
