Vasco da Gama, Port city in South Goa District, India
Vasco da Gama stands at the mouth of the Zuari River, featuring the Mormugao Port and extensive maritime infrastructure along the western Indian coast.
The Portuguese established this settlement in 1543, constructing the Mormugao Port in 1888, which remained under their administration until India annexed Goa in 1961.
The residents of Vasco da Gama communicate primarily in Konkani, while the architecture and street layouts reflect the extended Portuguese presence in this region.
The city connects travelers through its railway station, the nearby Dabolim Airport, and the National Highway network, facilitating transportation across western India.
The National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research operates from Vasco da Gama, managing India's scientific programs in Antarctica and processing marine samples.
