Goa Fort, Coastal fort in Ratnagiri district, India.

The fort rises above the Arabian Sea coastline with stone walls, watchtowers, and defensive structures spanning across the elevated position.

Portuguese colonists constructed this military fortification during their maritime expansion to protect their interests along the western Indian coast.

The fort stands as a testament to the Indo-Portuguese architectural style, combining local building techniques with European military engineering principles.

Visitors can access the fort through a marked path from the main road, with the site remaining open from sunrise to sunset throughout the year.

The fort contains a network of underground chambers and passages that were used for storage and emergency evacuation during times of conflict.
