Paper long abstract:
In 1843 Nova Goa was created and became the capital of the Portuguese Estado da India. It was the end of a long history of hesitations concerning the change of the capital that had started in early 17th century. Yet, this wasn't the end of the history of abandonment and ruin for the old capital of Portuguese India.
