 A stone's throw away from the Church of St. Augustine, and just before
(the Church of Our Lady of Rosary, is the Convent of St. Monica. This three-storey, laterite building was constructed in 1606 and reconstructed in 1637. It was once referred to as the Royal Monastery because of the royal patronage it got and also served as an exclusive convent for European, Eurasians and Goans.
The church in the convent is dedicated to St. Mary. From 1964, it is being used as a theological centre by the Mater Dei Institute.
