What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Three Kings Chapel for its serene atmosphere and breathtaking panoramic views of South Goa, especially during sunset. While the chapel itself is simple, the surrounding scenery and the intriguing local legend of it being haunted add to its unique charm. Some find the midday heat challenging and note limited shade.
"Serene and beautiful! Better to go in the evening for sunset, don't go after 12 noon since it's exhausting to go that far in the heat and there is very little or no shed in the area."
Anurag Prasad
"beautiful place. You can see sea from this place. Aksar movie song shooting has done here, visit before 6pm."

"Three Kings Chapel, located atop a hill called Cuelim, in Cansaulim
Many say that the site is haunted, and the spirits of the kings still wander over the church.
Despite that the kingly spirits have never hurt anyone, several people claim to have had ghostly experiences late at night. But, ghost stories aside, Three Kings Chapel is a beautiful place to visit since it allows you to see the abundance of nature. Visitors are not allowed after 6 PM at the church. Do you dare to go there? Well, I did, and I had a great time!"
