After the liberation of Goa, Goa along with Daman and Diu became a union territory of India and hence "Palacio do Cabo" became "Cabo Raj Niwas" the official residence of the Lt. Governor of the Union Territory of Goa, Daman and Diu. When Goa got statehood in 1987, the building was renamed to Raj Bhavan to match the names of other official residences of governors of states in India.

It is located at the extreme end of a narrow cape jutting into the Arabian Sea. Situated on the rim of the water-space formed by the merging of the perennial rivers of Mandovi, on one side, and Zuari, on the other, into the Arabian Sea
