    Vinila Vincent
    The Se Cathedral in Old Goa, India is one of the largest churches in Asia. Built between 1562-1619 in the Portuguese-Manueline style, it combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance, and Mudejar architecture. Notable features include a plain Tuscan exterior, a nave with side aisles and chapels, a rib-vaulted crossing, massive pillars, and detailed architectural ornamentation on doors, windows and niches. Originally with two towers, only one remains today after the other collapsed in 1776. The cathedral was built to commemorate the Portuguese victory over Muslim rulers in 1510 and consolidate their control over Goa.
