Sangolda, Guirim and Nagoa.
There is a seminary in Saligao of our lady. Saligao's ancient history is a
matter of conjecture. Saligao has many rich persons who amassed wealth in
Africa. The Saligao church, dedicated to the mother of Jesus is simply copy
of the famous Notre dame de Paris. All admire it's turrets and minarets.
It's the only church in Bardez and perhaps in Goa with such an impressive
structure. The feast is celebrated on the first Sunday of may every year.
People of misalign are considered to be very cunning and are called cole
(foxes).
Formerly Saligao has vast sugar cane plantations. Different kinds of jaggery
were prepared out of these cane juices. Every year on January 6th the feast
of Reis is celebrated in Verem. On the occasion a fair is held with
different food items; bellios being a specialty from Saligao.
