The Museum of Christian
Art is one of the few institutions of its kind in Asia. It is located in the
Convent of Santa Monica, Old Goa, in the vicinity of World Heritage Monuments.
Located on the northern tip of Goa at the mouth of the Tiracol River, Fort Tiracol is reached by a ferry from Keri. The name is likely to have originated from the Marathitir-khol translating as "steep river-bank".
