The ruins of the Convent and Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Nossa Senhora do Carmo. This was the premises of Goa`s second native religious order, Congregation of the Discalced Tertiary Carmelites. The convent and the church of the Tertiary Carmelites were in 1841 taken over by Santa Casa da Misericórdia. The following year, women from the Recolhimento de Nossa Senhora da Serra orphanage for girls and the Recolhimento de Santa Maria Madalena shelter for women of ill repute who had reformed and poor, old widows moved into the convent. The church began to be known as Igreja da Misericórdia or Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Serra.
