Castella de Aguada, Portuguese fortress in Bandra, India.
The stone fortification stands at Land's End, featuring high walls, ramparts, and multiple levels rising from sea level to 24 meters in height.
Built in 1640 by Portuguese forces, the fortress served as a watchtower overlooking Mahim Bay until British forces partially demolished it in 1739.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this State Protected Monument, which exemplifies Portuguese military architecture through its strategic design and construction methods.
Located near Mount Mary Church, the fortress contains walking paths, an amphitheater, and observation points providing views across the Arabian Sea.
The Taj Land's End hotel contributes to the maintenance of this historical structure through a cost-effective preservation arrangement with local authorities.
