This fort near the internationally famous
MarmagoaHarbour was built to protect the
harbour situated near the Vasco da Gama
town. Its work started in 1624.
It covered an area of six miles in circumference, contained towering
bulwarks, three magazines, five prisons, a chapel and quarters for the
guard. It had 53 guns and a garrison with 4 officers, and was an important
fortress on the western coast. Unfortunately, except the chapel and a
portion of the boundary wall, little is left of this fort.
