Chandor, previously known as Chandrapur, is a historical village filled with ancient lore, situated in South Goa, India. Nestled amid lush green surroundings, it is known for its traditional Goan houses, heritage properties, and archeological remnants that display a mix of Portuguese and pre-Portuguese influences. One highlight is the Braganza House, a palatial mansion divided into two separate houses with Portuguese artifacts, rare porcelain, and a private chapel with a Baroque facade. The village's cultural tapestry is enriched by the Saraswat Brahmin community that thrives here. The remnants of the fortifications hint at Chandor's past strategic significance. The streets of Chandor are quiet and lined with trees, providing an atmosphere of tranquil timelessness. This place is not only a historical snapshot but also an immersive experience for anyone interested in Goa's lesser-known legacy.
