Dominican Monastery is very beautiful and unique inside daman fort. It has beautiful garden too.

LOcated inside Moti Daman Fort...Good palce to explore....Dominican Monastery is frequently referred to as the Ruined Church...... Most travellers visit this archaeological landscape to witness its curiosity provoking sight, but a majority of them are unaware of its history of the Portuguese colonial era......... It was considered as the most prestigious church in the territory.......The monastery is said to have been erected in 1567 in remembrance of Saint Dominic. Christians offered their prayers, and theological teachings were provided to scholars who moved to the monastery from across the globe........It is believed that the destruction of the church was caused by an earthquake.......The construction workers who built the church employed the classic Portuguese architectural methods, which can be noticed in the other ancient churches of the territory...... The visitors get to observe the monastery’s arches and walls that withstood the earthquake.

Built in 1567 it had an altar on the Northern side with a rectangular prayer hall in front and dormitories to the right. It was one of the prominent Portuguese Churches during their colonial era in Daman and was frequented by priests across the world. Today it lays in ruins though not in neglect as the entire area has been maintained very well with manicured gardens providing some sense of its glorious past The structure is believed to be destroyed by an earthquake. Christians offered their prayers, and theological teachings were provided to scholars who visited the monastery from all over the world. The Catholic community celebrates two significant occasions at the monastery each year. The first one takes place on 2nd February when the community assembles at the site to listen to the stories, narrated by the clergy, about the monastery’s history. On the second occasion, which comes about on every third Sunday of December, the Catholics conduct the holy mass to commemorate Saint Dominic and the departed souls who lost their lives to the earthquake. Thus if you can time your visit with the above mentioned dates it will make your tour special It is accessible both from the Moti Daman Fort by walking past its boundary wall or through the arterial road inside the Fort compound. I leave you to choose the route of your choice but do not miss this beautiful ruins as it is a photographers delight and your friends envy when you will post it online in your social media handle. If I would have been a Bollywood film director I would have surely loved to shoot a romantic number in this place. With this queue I think it is quite a lovely place to shoot pre weeding pictures too.

The old lighthouse is walking distance from it or you can visit via by car or activa, Dominican Monastery is very fantastic place, also you can enjoy garden, very well maintained.

Very nice place for couples as you can click plenty of photos. It's a very well mentained historical place. You have ample parking places outside for your vehicles. We loved it very much. You can also photoshoot if you are planning to do fort photoshoot.

One of the oldest and historical churches in Daman, it was totally destroyed but still the structure is there.

A monastery in between the fort, absolutely a beautiful place to visit in the fort. And very well maintained even in the summers. A very good place for photography as well. The monastery is very old. A huge building to capture in camera. You will surely need Panorama mode to fit in the whole building. Apart from building the garden is also beautiful.

Ambience is amzing.. You can have good photoshoots here such as bride photoshoots group photos...Garden full of flowers of various colours. Nice place to sit and relax with your loved ones.

Great historical site in Daman to look for specially when it comes in the year 1564 , where our present structures are giving away so easily. Local government is also doing great job of preservation .

Beautiful place to visit, you can see and admire the remains of the structure and architecture. It is nicely maintained. Has a beautiful garden surrounding it.

Remains of Old church... Awesome architecture...

Daman Dominican Monastery is a representation of historic ruins. This monastery saw a massive downfall which till date escapes any logical explanation and strong interpretation. The Bare and lofty walls are the parts of magnificent structure of the "Convent of the Dominican" built in 1567 A.D. Originally it had an alter on the northern side with rectangular prayer hall in front and dormitories to the right.

You can't take a photo with a camera in this fourt, but you can take a photo with a mobile phone. What is the rule? The experience was very bad. We came to 80 km and we had to take photos with the mobile. We have to think before returning. And not only that but a few times 3 guys went inside with cameras and let them shoot inside and I have uploaded the proof of that.

Dominican monastery/church is located in Moti Daman. If you want to cover Daman, I would suggest please try to cover by walking as there are plenty of historical places to see. There is no entry fee and the view is awesome. Earlier it was a Dominican monastery/church and place of worship but now it's a ruined place. There is no food vendors, please carry water bottle with you. There is a parking facility.

Excellent place to explore. Well maintained, peaceful, with good vibes. Thankfully the place was neither littered nor plagued by graffiti. Minimally crowded. We visited the place in the rains.

Very less people visit this place. Loe crowded. Best place for your photos. And that pebbles there are amazing there

Calm and quiet place. Nice garden. No much crowd. It's the remainings of an old church. Time to be spent 1/2 hour. Nice place for photography.

There are only ruins of the monastery but the administration has beautifully maintained the premises of the same.

Not bad just we can enjoy the view for 10 to 15 mins
