  Forts

Chapora Fort
Situated near the Anjuna beach, the Chapora fort was built
by Adil Shah of Bijapur. The fort gives a spectacular view of
the sea as it is situated atop a cliff, on the coast of the Anjuna
beach.

Aguada Fort
Another famous fort of Goa would be the Aguada fort, built by
the Portuguese in 1612 A.D. This fort was built in order to
protect Goa from any external enemy attacks from the sea.

Terekhol Fort
The Maharaja of Sawanwadi built The Terekhol Fort on the
banks of the Terekhol River. It was taken over by the
Portuguese and rebuilt it again in 1764. The fort has now
been converted into a heritage hotel.

Corjuem Fort, Goa
This fort is situated 4km north of Pomburpa, alongside the
Mapusa river near the village of Aldona. It was built in 1705
by the Portuguese. The fort has a rather interesting story

Reis Magos Fort, Goa
It is situated on the south eastern extremity of the tablel and
on the right bank of the Mandovi, in the province of Bardez,
about two miles to the northeast of Fort Aguada. It was
constructed in 1551by the Portuguese to guard the entrance to
Goa at the narrowest part of the Mandovi river

Ruins of the Fortress of Colvale Goa
Standing on the northern frontier of Bardez, on the left bank
of the Bardez River, this fortress was erected in 1681 by the
court of Alvor as a barrier against the inroads of the Marathas
and Bhonsles. It was taken by the Marathas in 1739, and later recaptured by the Marquis of Lourical on the 13th of June
1741, and had a small garrison, besides a regiment, posted
about the same time in a convenient situation. The regiment
was removed to Mapusa in 1841, while the Fortress, which
had been abandoned and neglected a few years previously,
went to ruin, and now presents only a few traces of its former
might.

Mormugao Fort in Goa

This fort near the internationally famous Marmagoa Harbour
was built to protect the harbour situated near the Vasco da
Gama town. Its work started in 1624.
