Three Kings Church of Goa

Goa is visited by millions of tourist every year. There are so many places in Goa which are famous as tourist spot. But there are some places which are worth to be visited by tourists but very few people know about them, one such place is the Three Kings Church in the Cansaulim village in South Goa. The Three Kings Church is situated at Cuelim hill. The church is famous for the feast of “Three Kings” celebrated every year on 6th January.
According to some people this church is a haunted church .It is said that long time ago there were three Portuguese kings living in goa.

They often used to fight to gain power in the land but they were tied by the Portuguese diplomacy between rulers policy. One of the kings (King Holger Alvunger) one day invited the other two kings in his place and poisoned them to death. He himself fell out with the public and committed suicide by consuming poison. King Holger's place is the current Three Kings Church in goa, where there have been reports of sightings and general unrest.

                                                                     
However this is one of the most scenic spots in Goa. It is worth climbing the hill and getting here since one can get a breathtaking view of surrounding lush green regions and the Arabian Sea, and if you go there before sundown you will be able to enjoy a mind mumbling sunset. The Three Kings Church is one place to enjoy peace and wonderful natural beauty. The place isn't established as a tourist spot but it is still visited by many tourist and nature loving people. It is a paradise for photographers as well.

Do visit this magnificent place and preferable in the evening so that you can see the awesome view of sunset from the top of the hill. The Three Kings Church is a must visit place for nature loving tourists.
