The Se Cathedral is dedicated to St. Catherine, as it was on her feast day, 25th November 1510 that Alfonso de Albuquerque conquered Goa.

It is supposed to be the largest church in Asia. In the neighboring convent you can see the Church of St.Francis of Assisi.

Believers are awe-struck to hear of the Cross of Miracles, which is placed in the cathedral, its earlier church having been destroyed.

People have had a vision of Christ on this cross and the rock on which it was found was said to spout water while, today, the cross is slowly growing.

Earlier, it was at Se Cathedral that the sacred relics of St. Francis Xavier were shown to the public. Now it is kept at the Basilica of Bom Jesus.
