Dominican Monastery
Dominican Monastery, located in Moti Daman, is a historical site often referred to as the "Ruined Church." Built in 1567 in memory of Saint Dominic, it was once considered the most prestigious church in the region. The monastery served as a center for theological studies, attracting scholars and devotees from various parts of the world.
The structure, showcasing classic Portuguese architectural elements, was severely damaged by an earthquake, leaving behind remnants of its former grandeur. Visitors can still observe the monastery’s arches and walls that withstood the disaster, offering a glimpse into its past.
The site holds special significance for the Catholic community, which gathers here annually on February 2nd to listen to stories about its history, and again on the third Sunday of December to conduct a holy mass in remembrance of Saint Dominic and those who lost their lives in the earthquake.
