church in Old Goa, India
It was erected by Afonso de Albuquerque, Portuguese conqueror, in 1510 to commemorate his victorious entry to the city of Goa on St Catherine's Day. Pope Paul III granted it status of cathedral in 1534 and it was rebuilt. The chapel was expanded in 1550 at the order of the governor Jorge Cabral, and a new altarpiece was installed as well.
