About Salcette
Salcette is a cluster of 66 islands in South Goa district, with Madgao as its main urban centre. It is also known as 'Shasti' spelt by the Goans as Saxtty. Having been ruled by Hindu, Muslim, and Portuguese rulers over the centuries, the area has many monuments and relics that are a reminder of this rich heritage. There was a famous Vishnu temple in this area that drew pilgrims from all over; however it was destroyed by Muslim invaders. When the Portuguese took over Salcette, they built many churches here, some of which are tourism highlights of today.
