Standing high up on the Monte Santo (Holy Hill) at Velha Goa (Old Goa), the Church was Built by the Augustinian friars who arrived in Goa in 1587… upon completion it was recognized as one of 3 great Augustinian churches in the Iberian world, the other two being the Basilica of the Escorial, Western Madrid and St. Vincente de Fora, Lisbon…
Another fascinating aspect of this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the fact that the relics of St. Ketevan, Queen of Kakheti (Eastern Georgia) were brought to Goa by Augustinian monks after her death and were kept interred in this Complex, which later became abandoned. The relics were discovered in 2005… Queen Ketevan was canonised as a saint by the Georgian Orthodox Church shortly after her death due to her courageous stand against the demand for forcible conversion by the mighty Safavid Empire under Shah Abbas I

This amazing site is at the old Goa.The church was built on top of the Monte Santo. The ruins tells the glorious past of the place and its beauty. Worth visiting if you are a history lover and wanted to know about the culture of goa.

The ruins of the church of St. Augustine (built 1602).
Once among the grandest churches in the world, it was abandoned in 1835 due to the religious intolerance of the then Portuguese government.
Legend has it that the vault of the church collapsed twice during its construction. The third time round, the architect, to show off, asked for a cannon fired at it while his child was inside.
It finally fell 250 years later. Then, after another century, the façade collapsed. Today a lone bell tower stands teeth bared, accursed to its fate. Because of its ghostly appearance, the church has been used as a shooting location for the film, ‘Gumnam’.
Definitely a hidden gem in Goa.
PS: I am not sure what romantic angle Rohit Shetty saw in this location but he used it for the song, ‘Saathiya’ from the film ‘Singham’.
In the comments below are some more pics and a link for an interesting archaeological finding in this place.

【简介】根据碑文解释：奥古斯都修道士1587年来到果阿，并于1602年建造这座教堂和塔楼。这座高46米的巨大的四方塔楼原本是教堂的钟楼，1842年因拱顶倒塌而崩塌，1931年塔的外立面和塔的一半倒塌，1938年又坍塌了更多部分，现在仅存一堵墙和塔楼下半截。教堂有八个装饰精美的教堂和四个祭坛，以及一间修道院，里面有许多小房间和柱子。是世界文化遗产的一部分。
【费用】免费
【风景】我是在餐厅的墙上看到了它的照片，觉得这应该是个值得一看的古迹。果然不虚此行。整个废墟几乎没有游客，只有几个工人在进行着简单的维护，好像是要在空地上搭一片平台出来。有小路和台阶可以上到部分墙顶，然后俯视和眺望整片废墟的。很有沧桑感。
整片区域在果阿城中应该面积很大了，地面和墙上还保留着一些精致的地砖和浮雕，可以想象当年教堂的恢弘气势。只可惜现在一片破败。除了几个栏杆和少量玻璃罩，并没有什么保护措施。

Il faut une certaine imagination pour apprécier de cet ensemble de ruines l’ancienne grandeur de ce monastère.

This is a very interesting historical site, with lots of evidence of how impressive the church and monastery must have been. There's an interesting associated exhibition room in the museum nearby, but nothing on the site itself. It's a shame, as I would have liked some more information to stimulate the imagination. That said, this is a very interesting site that would be good for children to stretch their legs but not appropriate for those with low mobility.

Just near to Basilica of Bon Jesus, this must have been a very imposing structure as the gate and the arch itself is very high and majestic. Just walk slightly uphill from Bon Jesus and you will find the ruins in front of Santa Monica church. Must visit to feel the glory of olden times. It seems it is under renovation by Archaeological Survey of India. Nearby, there are some excavation sites also.

Robią krzywdę miejscu. Renowacja zabytku to nie jego odbudowa. Zobaczymy co z tego wyniknie,ale mam złe przeczucia.

A must visit for aspiring photographers. The site is under UNESCO heritage sites. Not many of the visitors visit this place but they should.

Augustinian Friars landed in the Portuguese controlled Indian region in 1587. Over the period of time, this team constructed three churches in the world including the Church of St. Augustine in India. In the early 19th century, the Portuguese government ordered the eviction of many religious groups and orders prevailing in Goa, as a part of its new policy including the Augustine order. Thus, the church was closed in 1938 and abandoned.
According to ancient photographs, reports, and writings, the church is said to have a four-levelled structure with four towers surrounding it. After the construction, this was Goa’s largest church for a considerable number of years.The structure was built with red laterite and the height of the church was 46 m. An elaborate excavation has found that the church had four altars, a convent, and eight chapels.
