Convento do Carmo - Ruined Church 1619, Old Goa and Chimbel

For us, ruined Church at Old Goa  means St. Augustine (near Santa Monica).
It was only last year (2018) I heard of another ruined Church of Carmelites known as Convento de Carmo but had no idea where exactly it is located  in Old Goa.  Did make lot of queries, even googled it out but no mention of exact location or direction to the site.
This year too (Jan/Feb 2019) we saw or read many news items in the form of press notes and press conferences  but none told us the exact location as if they wanted to celebrate privately. Reference was made in TOI articles, one saying to the east of Basilica and second time saying the east/west of Se cathedral.
Even put a query on Facebook but no help.  It was only when I saw a pic posted  in FB page Memórias da India Portuguesa asked the poster to give me direction as to how to get there to which Neenad Neo promptly replied saying its behind Old Goa Petrol Pump, Road by the side of a housing colony and then climbing involved etc.  That's how I managed to get there today..
There is a tarred road now (raw) and one can go up there with car or bike or take a motor-cycle pilot from old Goa Gandhi Circle. Or simple ask to take to Old Goa Steel yard from there new road to the right taking uphill. Housing colony that was talked about earlier is ' House of Bom Jesus'

Check this Video  1 which will give you the direction from Old Goa- Gandhi Circle to the site
