From Wikipedia
The St. Paul’s Church (Portuguese: Igreja de São Paulo) and officially College of the Holy Spirit and Church of Our Lady of the Conception or Saint Paul, is situated on Diu Island, on the west coast of India, a Union Territory of India. Diu came under the control of Portuguese colonists in early 16th century. The St. Paul’s Church, named after St. Paul, the Apostle of Jesus also known as the Apostle to the Gentiles, is still a functioning church and one of the three churches in Diu built by the Portuguese. It is considered one of the best examples of baroque architecture (artistic style) in India.
