Chapel of our Lady of the Mount

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Mount is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Old Goa, India. It is one of the oldest churches in the city and was built between 1510 and 1519. The construction of the church was ordered by Afonso de Albuquerque, the governor of Portuguese India, immediately after the Portuguese conquest of Goa in 1510. The chapel was completed in 1519. After the fall of the city, the chapel fell into ruins and was only restored in the early 21st century by Fundação Oriente, a Portuguese organisation in Goa.
