I live in Florianopolis, Brazil. Of all the Portuguese forts still existing in India, Baçaim (today Vasai), is one of the most imposing. Today Baçaim is a tangle of ruins, the city has, still well preserved, his imposing boundary walls, with his two access doors ("Porta do Mar" and "Porta da Terra") and his 10 bastions. Scattered inside the walls there are the ruins of numerous town-houses and churches, among other things: the church and the convent of the Dominicans, the Franciscan church of Santo Antonio (with numerous Portuguese tombstones, the remains of the cloister and the ruins of the bell-tower), the church of Nossa Senhora da Vida, the church and convents of the Augustinian, the "Camara" palace, the Misericordia, the church Matriz of S. José, the ruins of the Jesuits church and convent. Well preserved are also the remains of the old citadel of São Sebastião. Then there is the Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem in Bandel, West Bengal, India, founded in 1599. You will think you are in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil!

I'd love to see 'em though. Abraco virtual, Carlos 'Nariz'. Hello Regina,

The pictures of Brazil appear normally, but the ones of India and China don’t appear in Explorer nor in Firefox.
I’d love to see ‘em though.
