Friends, here all you can find more information to visit the places within Goa.

On the Holy Hill where now stands the Tower of St. Augustine. The New College of St. Paul or of St. Rock, the second institution of the Jesuits (1580) - the two stones marking the site have now disappeared when Navelkar's Complex was built.

On the outerio de Sto Amaro (Hill of St. Amaro) - somewhere in the direction of the old St. Paul's College there stood the :

01. Paroquial Church of St. Alex (1597-1610), near the Convent of the Carmelites which no longer exists.

02. Convent and Church of the Carmelites (1621) which has disappeared now - only the altar stands there surrounded by bushes, etc.
