The Church of St. Anne is a religious landmark found in Santana, Goa, India. It is an illustration of extravagant building design. Each of these, great in their structural magnificence and every one of them crouched in the previous Portuguese capital of Old Goa, Goa. Upon Goa's addition by India, while the previously stated buildings were held onto as "national landmarks" by the Archeological Survey of India and viably assumed control over, the congregation of St. Anne was uniquely neglected and remains spurned right up 'til the present time to the attacks of time and human disregard, the glaring reality in any case it is by a wide margin the most impeccable and the biggest surviving landmark of its kind in all of Asia. The congregation of St. Anne keeps on remaining generally neglected to the assaults of time and human disregard. Today, parts of the structure stay in an unstable condition. Legend has it that while development was in advancement, an elderly villager by the name of Bartholomeu Marchon, had a dream of an old woman wearing a cap with a staff under control. The old woman strolled down the neighboring slope and declared to Bartholomeu that the Church under development was her home, and that it was her expectation to dwell there. A comparable ghost was likewise experienced by a Brahmin woman of high social standing, who happened to be gravely sick and practically in death's grip. The divine spirit anointed the woman with a supernatural cure and as a token of preeminent appreciation, she grasped Christianity. Expression of her marvelous cure permeated down to the town cleric who in a flash deciphered it as an indication of heavenly intercession, and right off the bat, blessed the congregation to pay tribute to St. Anne.
