Why go

It was built by the Portuguese Jesuits in 1579, and was opened to public worship on the feast of John the Baptist. It also had an attached graveyard. The church was abandoned in 1840 after an epidemic hit the area. Fr. José Lourenço Pais, the then-Vicar of Kondivita transferred the church to the nearby Marol village. The baptismal font, pillars and altars were transferred to the new church.
