Church of Bom Jesus

The Church of Bom Jesus is a historic Roman Catholic church located inside Moti Daman Fort in Daman, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Built by the Portuguese Jesuits in 1559 and completed in 1603, it is one of the oldest churches in the region. Notable for its Roman architecture, ornate wooden altar, and carved gateways, the church remains an active place of worship and a key heritage attraction within the fort complex.

Visitors can expect a historic church set within the walled Moti Daman Fort complex. The exterior features Roman-style architecture with a decorated southern gateway and carved wooden doors. Inside, visitors can see a gilded wooden altar, ornate pillars, religious statues and paintings. The surroundings are quiet with fort walls, old Portuguese buildings and narrow lanes. The church is still used for regular services and visitors can explore the prayer hall and courtyard area.
