Sanguem

Sanguem, in South Goa, was among the Novas Conquistas or new conquests added to Portuguese India in the eighteenth century AD. Today, with a population of just close to 7000 people, Sanguem still boasts of many important landmarks. These include the Sagameshwar Temple, Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park and the Salaulim Dam.

The Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park is spread out 107 square kilometres, with most of it lying in the adjacent Dharbandora taluk. Two popular destinations within the park are the 12th-century Tambdi Surla Temple and the spectacular Dudhsagar Falls.
