Church of the Carmelites in Goa
|
|
Nothing remains of the Church of the Carmelites
excepting the façade and a raised pavement, which served as an altar.
Its location is to the southeast of the Church of St.
Cajetan and is on a hill more or less contiguous to the hill on which
the Chapel of Our Lady of the Mount stands.
The church was built in 1621. The Carmelites, on their
refusing to take the Oath of Allegiance to the king, were expelled from
Goa in 1707.
The church fell into disuse and ruins soon after.
