Quepem is a picturesque town located in South Goa district of Goa, India. It is known for its lush greenery, quiet riverside, and rich history. Quepem was established by the Portuguese nobleman DeÃ£o JosÃ© Paulo, the Dean of the Church, in the 18th century after he received the land from Shahu Maharaj of Satara. Visitors can admire the grandeur of the bygone era by visiting the Quepem PalÃ¡cio do DeÃ£o, a mansion that was the residence of the founder and is a notable example of Portuguese architecture in the region. The Quepem area is largely agricultural with paddy fields and plantation crops. Culturally, Quepem showcases a blend of Goan traditions with influences from its Portuguese past. The quaint town radiates a serene environment perfect for those looking to escape the more tourist-heavy beaches of North Goa. The town is also popular for the Quepem dam, which is a beautiful spot for picnics and day outings. In addition to its natural beauty, Quepem hosts several traditional festivals and markets that display the local cuisines, art, and craft.
