Fort Aguada, Portuguese fort in North Goa district, India
Fort Aguada stands at the junction of Mandovi River and Arabian Sea, featuring fortification walls, bastions, and water storage facilities.
Portuguese builders completed this military stronghold in 1612 to protect against Dutch invasions and guide European vessels arriving in Goa.
The central jail section of Fort Aguada now functions as a Freedom Struggle Museum, displaying exhibits about colonial resistance movements.
Visitors can explore the fort complex between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM daily, with access to both upper fortifications and lower harbor areas.
The fort contained water storage chambers holding 2,376,000 gallons, making it one of Asia's largest freshwater reserves in the 17th century.
