 | | The search for prehistoric sites on the river banks of Goa and recent finds along its river ports promise a fascinating glimpse of the past, waiting to be discovered. |
 | | Gopakapattana, modern Goa Velha on the mouth of the river Zuari, once a major port, is now covered with mangroves. |
 | | Its many mosques, temples, and gardens were demolished by the new zealots, who made it the hub of Portuguese commerce in the east till the end of the 17th century, trading hinterland goods from Deccan, Konkan and Malabar with Arabia, China, Mozambique, Persia, Malacca, Java and elsewhere. |
