Dear Goanet readers, I would like to know what is the origin of the architectural designs that give a special look to our ancestral Goan homes. Are these designs from the colonial rule of the Portuguese or a mix of Spanish/English and Portuguese.
I have not seen similar large so called Goan ' Portuguese houses ' in Portugal, with Balcao etc. Appreciate if Goanet readers could give their views and insights into the origin of these designs. Thank you very much.
