    8 chapels as listed below




    In 1835, this complex was abandoned due to expulsion of the Religious Orders from Goa.

    In 1846, the main vault of the Church collapsed followed by the
    3 storey Convent building structure that had rooms, cells, halls, dormitories, Guest house etc


    1965 Bollywood movie GUMNAAM was shot here in the ruined convent section of this complex. Some night scenes in the area seen the title song of the film

    Viceroy's Gate

    Location:
    Towards Divar Ferry or near St. Cajetan Churh
    Road opp Se Cathedral



    When young and when there was less education, we were told the statue is of
    Fishermen's King (Hari Raza) and that one had to go underneath him (Hari-Raza ghe ganddintulean)in order to go to Divar  Island via canoe boat (now ferry).

    Restored by  then Portuguese Goa Governor Francisco da Gama (1600) in memory
    of his Great Grand Father Vasco da Gama who discovered Sea route to India from Europe.
