- Description:
- Saint Anne’s Church was built on the site of a small chapel constructed in 1787 by Rose Nesbit, an Armenian woman who lived in a mansion called Rose Cottage on a vast estate when Mazagaon was still an island. The chapel built by the Nesbit family was called Igreja da Senhora Santa Anna, named after the mother of Mary. In the 19th century CE, the Jesuits expanded the chapel, constructed a church in its place and renamed it Saint Anne’s Church.
