Margao Municipal Council

Oldest government infrastructure of madgaon city, well maintained also have one garden near building. Mostly crowded area and near to madgaon railway junction and in this area you also get rented bike.

This is a beautiful portugese styled structure located at the heart of the city. Margao municipal building is 117 years old the written documents state that the foundation stone for the municipal building was laid on September 27, 1902, and this imposing new municipal building was built by Caetano Camilo da Silva of Orlim and inaugurated on April 30, 1905.

To construct it, the Governor imposed heavy taxes on the people of Salcete, such was the public resentment of the steep taxes that Arnaldo de Menezes from Raia composed the Mando “Kitlem Odruxtt Amchem”.

Margao city centre is crowned with one of the most prominent colonial-era tiled-roof buildings that serves as the municipal council office. Earlier known as Camara Municipal de Salcete, referring to Salcete taluka, the Margao Municipal Council oversees its operations from this imposing central landmark. The exterior walls, once red and white in color, don a bright yellow and white outlook that make it 'fit-in' the overall color scheme of the city. Besides offering regular administrative services such as taxation and registration certificates to life events, the municipal council also runs an extremely popular public library that marked its centenary celebrations in 2014.

Just across the street from this Municipal Council building are the other two central landmarks of the city—Municipal Garden and Aga Khan Children's Park at the northern end. Separated by a narrow walkway frequented by vendors, an aerial view would make these two appear as one big garden. The children park was constructed in 1959 by a local businessman named Abdul Javerbhai Mavany in the honor of visiting HH Aga Khan, the Imam of Nazari Ismaili Muslims and the leader of the Khoja (Khwaja) community in India. Situated next to the market bus terminal, the green patch is often dubbed as 'lungs of Margao'.

The municipal garden is open from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM, while the Children's Park is open between 5 PM to 9 PM
