Major Tourist Attraction
Fort Aguada
The forts of Goa are very small compared to other Indian
forts. Aguada fort is one such fort, which is
small in size. The fort derived its name from Portuguese
word "Aguada" meaning "Water". The fort was built by
Portuguese in 1612 AD near Mandovi River. The idea
behind the fort was to protect Goa against any enemy
attack from sea. Inside the fort, there is a spring ,
which was earlier used to provide water supply to the
ships. Though the fort is not the best preserved
monument in Goa, it exhibits the splendour of Portuguese
rule in Goa. Currently at one end of the fort, the
central jail of Goa has been made.
