Church of St. Augustine, Goa
Church of St. Augustine, Goa, Baroque church ruins in Old Goa, India
The Church of Saint Augustine features a 46-meter-high tower made of laterite stone, standing among architectural remains on Monte Santo hill.
Construction of the church began in 1597 by Augustinian friars, with completion in 1602, followed by gradual deterioration after Portuguese authorities expelled religious orders in 1835.
The church structure represented Portuguese religious influence in Asia, serving as one of three major Augustinian churches in the Iberian world.
Visitors can access the church ruins throughout the year, with the remaining tower visible from multiple vantage points in Old Goa.
Archaeological excavations in 2005 revealed bone fragments of Queen Ketevan of Georgia, who died as a martyr in 1624.
