Goa is one of the most iconic tourist destinations in the country. It is set on the slopes of the Sahyadri ranges of the mighty Western Ghats and lined on the west by the Arabian Sea. Goa was ruled by rulers from various backgrounds, which molded the place into its current form. Among its many rulers, the Portuguese are the ones who left the deepest signature on Goa.
