The most important and famous church in Goa is the Basílica do Bom Jesus where the remains of Saint Francis Xavier are preserved. Construction began in 1594 and in 1605 it was consecrated by the Jesuits. The church is shaped in a cruciform and the old plaster which adorned the entire edifice was eventually stripped to reveal the original laterite. Francis Xavier’s three layered marble tomb was commissioned by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III de' Medici, and sculpted by Giovanni Foggini in Florence. From there, it was shipped to Goa in 1698.
