Cabo de Rama, Fortified military complex in Canacona, India

The fort extends over 180,000 square meters of laterite rock structures with walls, moats, ramparts, turrets, and cannons along the western Indian coastline.

The Portuguese gained control of the fortress in the 1760s when the Raja of Soonda transferred ownership to protect against Hyder Ali of Mysore.

The Capela de Santo António chapel within the fort maintains active religious services, connecting past traditions with present-day spiritual practices.

The fortress opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM without entrance fees, with November through March offering the most favorable weather conditions.

Two distinctive water reservoirs from the Soonda period remain within the fort complex, one containing cold water and the other maintaining hot water.
