It has beautiful, red roofed houses with stucco walls built in Latin style, well laid gardens, statues and avenues lined with trees.The Church Square or Largo de lgreja is the focal point. The Church of the Immaculate Conception, designed in Portuguese Baroque style was modeled on the church at Reis Magos. The image of Lady of Fatima can be found in one of the altars.
The Idalcao or Adilshahi Palace was rebuilt by the Portuguese Viceroy Jeronimo de Azevedo. It is part of the sequence of handsome buildings, which has now become the secretariat.
