Other churches of reputation in old Goa are Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Church of St.Augustine ruins , Church and Convent of St. Monica, Church of Our Lady of Rosary, Chapel of St. Anthony and Chapel of St. Catherine. In Panaji, the capital of Goa, the church dedicated to our Lady of Immaculate Conception, the Chapel of St. Sebastian and the statue of Abbe Faria quenches the spiritual thirst of any religious traveller.
