Currently, the monument serves as a State Assembly Office and one can explore it only from the outside. It is worth seeing for its ancient Portuguese architecture. The Secretariat Building is located on a little elevation which also makes it a good vantage point affording a panoramic view of Panjim, Mandovi River, and the two bridges connecting Tiswadi and Porvorim.
