Diu Museum (St. Thomas Church)
Igreja de São Tomé
A museum housed in a Gothic church converted in 1598, displaying Portuguese-era carved wooden saints, stone tombstones, and colonial relics.
St. Thomas Church is one of Diu's three Portuguese-era churches. Its plain, solid exterior now houses the Diu Museum, which displays carved wooden statues of Portuguese-period saints, tombstone carvings, old coins, and archaeological finds. The collection is modest, but it complements the building itself. Climb to the rooftop for views over the old town and the sea. Admission is free or very cheap, and it is open roughly 08:00–18:00. It is near St. Paul's Church, so you can visit both on the same walk.
Opening hours
About 08:00–18:00
