The Portuguese legacy of Bengal is still palpable in the heart of Kolkata, but sadly, it is overlooked and not paid the respect it deserves. Astonishing as it may sound, an attempt to murder, or at least a street fracas between two Europeans in colonial Calcutta, indirectly gifted this city a huge edifice — the Portuguese Church of the Sacred Heart of the Jesus.
In Calcutta, 1821, near Old Chowringhee Theatre, a man named Luis De Souza openly fired inside a horse carriage, seriously injuring one Joseph Gonsalves. De Souza was arrested and an attempt to murder case was filed against him.
Hearing this, his mother began praying for his life and made a resolution to build a church if her prayers were answered. Her son escaped capital punishment, but was imprisoned for a decade.
After De Souza was released, she laid the first stone of the church on February 12, 1832. The church was completed in two years and its consecration was held on Easter Sunday, March 30, 1834.

Heritage Tram Tour
Published on Mar, 2025
An enjoyable few hours early morning riding the heritage Kolkata trams. The ride was noisy and bumpy but it was great seeing the city as it woke up. Our hosts provided us with very generous snacks, drinks and some souvenir postcards. Our final stop was at the moving ‘Mother house’ where Mother Teresa had lived.
