The Architecture of Goan Catholics has strong Portuguese, Mughal, and Indian influences. It developed over the long colonial Portuguese India era (1500s−1961). Many of the 16th and 17th colonial Catholic churches were built in the Portuguese Baroque style. Most of the historic houses still standing were built between the 18th century and the early part of the 20th century, in a mix of Neoclassical and Gothic Revival styles. ==Design influences== Factors that influenced residential design in Goa include: *Protection from fierce seasonal monsoons. *Portuguese Empire rule allowed Goan people to travel abroad; when they returned they brought with them ideas and influences from other countries. The Goan master builders executed these ideas using local building materials, making the Goan house a mixture and adaptation of design elements and influences from other cultures. *The traditional Baroque architecture style of Portuguese-built churches. *A European aesthetic/lifestyle was encouraged to separate newly converted Goan Catholics from their cultural roots. However, they adopted a European outlook but did not cut themselves off from their Indian roots completely, and resulting cultural fusion affected house design. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Architecture of Goan Catholics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
