Campal Heritage Walk by Make It Happen
Overview
Unlike other areas of Panaji, the Campal heritage area is unique in its nature and characteristics. The street pattern consists of a grid iron pattern and only residential houses fully self sufficient in their needs and demands. Every house is different in its character, accessible with well tarred roads, parking space and compound is housed with ornamental railings carved in stones, and a distinct construction technology used to construct these houses.
Basically, a formal layout with a garden (Jardin de Francisco Luis Gomes) facing the river front as focal point. Campal lies along river Mandovi and predominantly a residential area, occupied by higher economic group of population. The area is serene and tranquil away from the main hub of activity.

Amreen from make it happen is steeped in Goa’s rich heritage and tapestry. The formal historic accounts uniquely and elegantly complemented by oral history and stories - many from Saligao in which she is the expert. We learned so much about the rise of the great city of Panjim and its planning taken from the blueprint of Lisboa. The beautiful houses, the sanitation, the traditions of the nobles and the era of Dom Manuel de Portugal e Castro. It’s a beautifully narrated journey into the past.,,, don’t miss it!JoanitaBritto

The choice of location for the walk is one that is pertinent to Goan History and why the Capital of Goa is what it is today. Often overlooked only as a pretty part of the most beautiful capital city in India, Campal is worth the time taken through this walk. The research and content shared as well as the access to heritage homes and traditions of the people of Campal is possibly what would make me recommend this walk to anyone wanting to know more about the locale. My favourite was the visit to the Doctors Chapel and FLGomes Garden Or the Campal Garden.alpham2015

The musical performance at the gazebo was my favourite part. Also it was surreal to visit Kala academy.
