St.James Church

This old church with its large courtyard, though ravaged by the war, still holds its charm and miraculously the faces of the sculptures have not been damaged. Written on the facade of the church is 1716 but the first stone, it was noted, was laid on 1st Janu¬ary 1815 by Father Dalgado, a Goanese Oratorian, to replace a more ancient mud building.

Upon reaching the centre of town in Kayts, you arrive at a T-junction. Take the right, and then immediately left. The St James' Church is at the end of this street, about 100 m away, and can be seen from the junction.
