Far from the party beaches and liquor shacks that Goa has become known for, the mansion is now open as both a homestay and a museum, filled with antique furniture and artifacts from the 17th century.

In this image taken from video footage run by China's CCTV via AP Video, a Long March 5 rocket lifts off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern China's Hainan province on Sunday, July 2, 2017. Authorities say the Long March-5 Y2 launched Sunday had an abnormality during the flight after what appeared to be a successful liftoff. The failure of the Long March 5 rocket deals a rare setback to China's highly successful space program, one that will almost certainly delay plans to send a spacecraft to bring back samples from the moon later this year, along with other upcoming missions. Chinese characters at both reads &quot;Long March-5 Y2 rocket life off.&quot; (CCTV via AP Video)
