The Augustine Tower painting is a re-imagining of the Augustine Church, built in the year 1602 by 12 Augustinian Monks. The Church was once a vibrant and imposing establishment. The intervention of the Portuguese government caused the structure to be abandoned, which led to its eventual collapse. Today, only the ruins of this magnificent structure stand tall.
