Fort Aguada in Goa

Built by the Portuguese, the formidable Fort Aguada sits south of the Sinquerim Beach in Goa near the mouth of the Mandovi River. Facing the inviting waters of Arabian Sea, a lighthouse inside the fort attracts visitors throughout the year. Today its remnants stand as a testimony to the glory days of Portuguese Empire. Its name is derived from the Portuguese word ‘Agua’ which stands for ‘water’ as the fresh spring near the hill provided constant supply to ship crews. An engineering marvel of its time, this prized bastion kept off Dutch and Maratha invaders for many decades before it was finally captured by the British.

Its lighthouse used to house the famous bell from the Church of St Augustine which now tolls in the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Panaji. Besides the five-star Fort Aguada Beach Resort, the complex also has a fresh water storage tank, one of the largest in Asia built in that era. This is an ideal place to get a peek into the history of the region.

Sampati's 5 days trip to Goa

I had a 6-day trip to Goa recently, booked with Trip String, and I must say it was absolutely trouble-free. Bushra from Trip String had planned our trip carefully, and everything went on smoothly. The properties that she recommended and subsequently booked for us were all top-notch and just as we had envisioned. She was very cooperative and made sure everything went very well-planned during our entire trip. I would strongly suggest booking your travel itinerary with Trip String for a smooth and enjoyable experience.
