Heritage walk at the Lower Fort Aguada Port and Jail Complex highlighting the history of the 400 year old monument, later repurposed as a prison and today is a cultural center for travelers to visit.
The captivating fort Aguada has borne witness to countless events in Goan history; from defending the Portuguese colony against invasions from the Dutch and the Marathas, to its internal prison complex used to house freedom fighters battling for Goan independence – this magnificent structure is bursting with rousing stories from the past. Journey through time, as we explore this iconic 400-year-old monument and soak in stunning panoramic views of the seaside.
