Fundacao Oriente has a spacious presence in Fontainhas, the latin quarter of Panjim. It does organise an occasional interesting programme. Fundacao Oriente, which sponsors cultural events and adds variety to Goa's cultural scene in a way, faced some stormy weather when it was first being set up ... Goa's uneasy parting of ways with its former Portuguese rulers, and lingering ultra-nationalism amidst a section of freedom fighters could be seen as the reasons. The Fundacao also has been subsidising a book-publishing plan which has helped put out more Goa-related titles in what is otherwise a small but colourful market for books dealing with a tiny region of South Asia.

Located on the left bank of the Mandovi river, Panjim is also known for its latin quarter -- Fontainhas. A walk in the area can be a pleasant activity by relaxed evening or morning. --59.95.47.45 (discussão) 21h54min de 25 de Junho de 2008 (UTC)
