Overview
The Church of St. Augustine is a ruined church complex located in Old Goa. Originally, the church had four towers of which today only one remains. This remaining tower is a four-storied structure built of laterite and 46 m in height. Excavations show that the complex had eight chapels, four altars and a convent. It was abandoned in 1835 after the Portuguese government of Goa began evicting many religious orders in Goa under its new repressive policies. The subsequent neglect caused the vault of the church to collapse in 1842. The body collapsed soon after and by 1871, the bell was moved from the tower to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church in Panjim, where it remains to date. The church is part of the World Heritage Site, Churches and convents of Goa.
