Corjuem Fort, Military fort in Aldona, India
The square-shaped laterite stone fortress stands on Corjuem Island, featuring four corner bastions and thick defensive walls measuring 4 kilometers from Aldona village.
Portuguese governor Caetano de Melo e Castro ordered the construction of this defensive structure in 1705 to protect against Maratha forces and maintain control over river routes.
The fort includes a shrine dedicated to Saint Anthony, connecting military heritage with religious practices maintained by the local community through generations.
Located 12 kilometers from Panaji, this heritage site remains open throughout the year with no entry fee and offers optimal visiting conditions from October to March.
A Portuguese woman named Ursula e Lancastre served at this fort disguised as a male soldier until revealing her identity when she decided to marry.
