The church stays in ruins today but still manages to attract a vast number of visitors each year. An elevated 46 meters of Bell Tower is the major attraction of this church. This tower serves as a belfry. It remains vacant since the eighteenth century and was distorted back in 1842. This ruined beauty is surely worth a visit to witness the remains which give an insight of how amazing the structure once was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once an imposing church, today the Church of St Augustine is in ruins but still a must-see in Goa due to the rich history. The church was dedicated to Our Lady of Grace. Amongst its ruins, the most noticeable is a lofty tower that manages to stand its ground. St Augustine was once the largest church in Goa, unfortunately after its abandonment, the structure started to gradually fall off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Browse our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/destinations.hinterscapes.com\/\">entire list of places to visit in Goa<\/a>&nbsp;with all the other information!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hinterscapes.com\/\"><strong>Hinterscapes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a>to book your most affordable package of&nbsp;<strong>Off-beat Tourism Activities in Goa<\/strong>.
