Reader Reviews:
The most complete inventory of indo-portuguese houses of Goa (1/1 people found this helpful)
The book is a delight, both for a reader who enjoys photos, as well as for the interested architect on history. It is the most complete inventory of the superb indo-portuguese houses of Goa. The specific and well written articles on the grand houses, both the ones that have already dissappeared (the Archbishop house and others) as well as the existing ones (Bragança, Loyola Furtado, etc.) are accurate, detailed and completed with superb photos. It is also an excellent inventory of all the house architectural plants and the associated way of life. It is a great book for people interested in colonial life, India, architecture and history. Highly recommended.
