Take a 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 as a cultural center for travelers to visit.
The captivating Fort Aguada has been 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.
