Aguada Fort Goa
Aguada Fort Goa, which crowns the rocky flattened top of the headland, is the best-preserved Portuguese bastion at Goa beaches tours , Aguada Fort Goa was built under the guidance of an Italian architect Filipo Terzi. Built in 1612 to protect the northern shores of the Mandovi estuary from Dutch and Maharatha raiders, it is home to several natural springs, the first source of drinking water available to ships arriving at Goa beaches tours after the long sea voyage from Lisbon. On the north side of the fort, a rampart of red-brown late rite juts into the bay to form a jetty between two small sandy coves. The name 'Aguada' means watering place; this is derived from the large well and several springs which provided drinking water to incoming ships. The Aguada Fort Goa also has a four-storey light house, built in 1864. The ruins of the fort can be reached by road; head through the Taj village, and turn right when you see the sign. Nowadays, much of the site serves as a prison, and is therefore closed to visitors. It's worth a visit to clear water beaches, though, if only for the superb views from the top of the hill where a four-storey Portuguese lighthouse, erected in 1864 and the oldest of its kind in Asia, looks down over the vast expanse of sea, sand and palm trees of Calangute beach on one side, and across the mouth of the Mandovi to Cabo Raj Bhavan, and the tip of the Mormugao peninsula, on the other.
