church of st augustine ruins


The Church of St. Augustine, a remarkable ruin in Old Goa, stands as a testament to the region's rich history. Completed in 1602, it was once part of a larger complex that included eight chapels, four altars, and a convent. Now, only a portion of one tower remains, reaching 46 meters into the sky, a silent witness to the passage of time and the stories of the past. This site, part of the World Heritage Site of the Churches and convents of Goa, continues to captivate visitors with its grandeur and the tales of its former glory.
