Cathedral of Bom Jesus is located in Moti Daman. As the name itself suggests, this church is dedicated to Bom Jesus. The Church constructed in 1559 and was anointed in 1603. When the Portuguese first came here, this church used to be a religious place of priests only. It is a fine example of the magnificent architecture and exquisite craftsmanship of Portuguese artisans. The intricate Portuguese and Roman style architectural design used in it is unique in itself. The key attraction of this church includes a golden altar made of wood, artistically carved doors, ornate designs in the interior, precious stone studded on the huge inner ceilings, and works of shimmery wood. The statue of six saints located here attracts the attention of tourists. It is brilliantly carved out of a particular tradition of Roman Catholic architecture. Many such features make the Church of Bom Jesus a significant tourist destination in the region. A large number of devotees also come here from nearby and far-flung areas.
