Reis Magos lies on banks of the Mandovi River and is home to two famous landmarks of Goa - the Reis Magos Fort and the Reis Magos Church.
Franciscan missionaries erected the Baroque Church of Reis Magos, which stands guard on the banks of the Mandovi, in 1551, to serve the garrison in the fort of Reis Magos. The whitewashed Church was dedicated to the tale of the Three Magi. Historians have also found evidence to support the fact that Reis Magos Church was built on the ruins of an old Hindu temple. A wooden panel painted with a relief showing the Three Wise Men (Reis Magos) bearing gifts for the baby Jesus dominates the interior of Reis Magos Church.
