According to some people this church is a haunted church.It is said that long time ago there were 3 portuguese kings living in goa.they often used to fight to gain power in the land but they were tied by the portuguese diplomacy between rulers policy.one of the kings(king holger alvunger) one day invited the other two kings in his place and poisoned them to death.he himself fell out with the public and commited suicide by consuming poison.king holgers place is the current 3 kings church in goa,where there have been reports of sightings and general unrest.

However this is one of the most scenic spots in Goa.It is worth climbing the hill and getting here since one can get a breathtaking view of surrounding lush green regions and the Arabian sea,and if u go there before sundown u will be able to enjoy a mind numbling sunset.the 3 church is one place to enjoy peace and wonderful natural beauty.The place isn't established as a tourist spot but it is still visited by many tourist and nature loving people.It is a paradise for photographers as well.so do visit this magnificant place and preferable in the evening so that you can see the awesome view of sunset from the top of the hill.
