Fort Aguada
Fort Aguada is strategically situated at the estuary of the river
Mandovi, this fort was constructed in 1612 as a guard against invasions
from the Dutch and the Marathas. The walls of this fort are 5 mts high and
1.3 mts wide. Little surprise then that this remains to be the only fort
that was not conquered by any invaders during the 450 yearlong rule of the
Portuguese empire. |
