Fort Aguada, Goa

largest sea view portugese fort Aguada along with a lighthouse, standing in Goa which is well preseved compared to our ancient holy temples... proof that how we are neglecting our culture in the name of western education and their culture

It's one old fort which is renovated well. Where it's surrounded by beach on the other end. The fort is one epic monument. You can enjoy the landscapes. In Goa, whomsoever visits it's once of a tourist most visited place. Enjoy well and let you share the experience about it on my post.

The fort is an immense knowledge book. But as any historical place it needs time and a good guide. If you are running short of time, you may not like the fort and it's surroundings. The surrounding area needs 3-6 hours to explore depending on your fitness level. The fort takes about an hour to roam at peace . The water cooler was not working during my time. Their are plenty of food stalls outside to take care for your food, water and juices. You will need to walk and in the sun it can be really hot. The fort is divided in various sectors. The vehicle reaches only the top part. For the other sector one needs to trek around. Best time to trek is early in the morning just before sunrise. Best time to visit the lighthouse which is next to fort is evening.

Aguada Fort, a 1612 Portuguese fortress located in Goa, is a historic landmark that offers visitors a glimpse into the state's rich cultural past. The fort, which is situated on a hilltop overlooking the Arabian Sea, provides sweeping ocean views and a fascinating look at Goa's colonial history. One of the things that immediately stands out about Aguada Fort is its size. The fort is quite large and features a variety of structures, including a lighthouse that was erected in 1864. Although the fort is in a state of disrepair, it is still an impressive structure that is worth exploring. However, despite its size and historical significance, there is not much to see at Aguada Fort. Most of the structures are in ruins, and there are few exhibits or artifacts to explain the history of the fort. The abandoned lighthouse is also off-limits to visitors, which is disappointing. Visitors must pay an entry fee of 25 rupees for Indians and 100 rupees for foreigners to access the fort. While the fee is not particularly high, some visitors may feel that it is not worth the cost given the lack of things to see. One of the highlights of Aguada Fort is the stunning view of the Arabian Sea from the hilltop. You can see the water from the fort, and the view is particularly breathtaking at sunset. This makes the fort a popular spot for photographers and tourists looking to take in the natural beauty of the region. Overall, Aguada Fort is an interesting historical site that provides a glimpse into Goa's colonial past. While the lack of exhibits and the state of disrepair may be disappointing for some visitors, the stunning views of the ocean and the natural beauty of the region make it worth a visit for those interested in history and architecture.
