Ruins of the Church of St.Augustine, Old Goa – The church was constructed in 1602 by Augustinian friars who had arrived in Old Goa in 1587 and was abandoned in 1835 due to expulsion of religious orders from Goa and the Portuguese government ordered its demolition. All that’s left today of the Church of St Augustine is the 46m-high tower, which served as a belfry and formed part of the church’s facade.
