点评:Please note, the main photograph on this site purporting to be that of St. Cajetan's Church is actually The Pastoral Institute St Pius X (Convent of St. Cajetan).
This church named after St Cajetan of Thiene is unique in that it is the last remaining example of Italian architecture – not Portuguese- in Goa. Built by Theatine friars, it was completed in 1661 in the Corinthian style. Goa was the first Portuguese colony in Asia, and remained under colonial rule until 1961, so dealing with the Italian Theatines was not cordial. Apart from building hospitals for the poor, the Theatines are credited with championing the distribution of Holy Communion to all Goan Catholics, irrespective. It’s crowned with a hemispherical dome like that at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and other subtle differences from the Portuguese Baroque style. Features include a 72-foot-deep well, gilded reredos (ornamental screens), an altar dedicated to Saint Cajetan and paintings depicting his life. There is also the impressive adjoining Convent of St. Cajetan.
翻译:请注意,本网站上声称是圣卡耶坦教堂的主要照片实际上是圣庇护十世牧灵学院(圣卡耶坦修道院)。
这座以圣卡耶坦·蒂耶内命名的教堂是独一无二的,因为它是果阿仅存的意大利建筑(而非葡萄牙建筑)。它由泰阿提纳修道士建造,于 1661 年建成,采用科林斯风格。果阿是亚洲的第一个葡萄牙殖民地,直到 1961 年才被殖民统治,因此与意大利泰阿提纳修道士打交道并不愉快。除了为穷人建造医院外,泰阿提纳修道士还因倡导向所有果阿天主教徒分发圣餐而受到赞誉,无论他们是否信奉天主教。它的顶部有一个半球形圆顶,就像罗马的圣彼得大教堂一样,并且与葡萄牙巴洛克风格有其他细微的差别。特色包括一口 72 英尺深的井、镀金的祭坛背饰(装饰屏风)、一座献给圣卡耶坦的祭坛和描绘他生平的画作。毗邻的圣卡耶坦修道院也令人印象深刻。
