The Aguada Fort is one of the most renowned forts in Goa, India. Learn more about Fort Aguada Goa.

 

Fort Aguada

 

Location Bardez taluka, North Goa district
Constructed by Portuguese colonizers
Construction Period 1609-12 AD
Trivia The largest fort in Goa; the only fort not to be conquered by enemies during 450 year rule of the Portuguese; houses the oldest lighthouse in Asia

Fort Aguada GoaAn awe-inspiring edifice, the Aguada fort stands tall among the Portuguese-era forts scattered across Goa. Strategically located at the estuary of the river Mandovi, the Aguada fort is the largest among the lot. Aguada in Portuguese translates to 'water' and the fort has been called so for the spring within the ramparts that provided water supply to the ships that called here arriving after the long sea voyage from Lisbon.

The Portuguese erected this massive bastion in 1609-12 to ward off attacks from the marauding armies of the Dutch and the Marathas. Apart from the strategic location, an assembly of two hundred cannons and the thick fortifications made the Aguada fort a veritable bulwark against enemy attacks. The fort made an enviable record of being the only fort that was not conquered by any invaders during the 450 year long rule of the Portuguese empire.

Located within the precincts of the Aguada fort is a four-storey lighthouse, erected in 1864 and arguably the oldest of its kind in Asia. The Aguada fort is in a good state of preservation and one can still witness remnants of the original structures. Nowadays the fort functions as a prison and it happens to be the largest prison in Goa.
