Mormugao Fort

Mormugao Fort

 

Mormugao Fort was built in the early 17th century by the Portuguese to protect the Margoa Port. The structure expands into the sea and allowed them to keep a better watch on the waterways to protect the port from attacks and invasions. The fort is now one of the best attractions to get a fabulous view of the scenic landscape and the beautiful Arabian Sea.

This ancient behemoth, still well-preserved and standing proud today is considered to be one of the foremost coastal forts in Goa. Mormugao was an important port for Portuguese ships. It is said that the fortress, which is just a few kilometers away from the Mormugao port, was built to guard the mouth of the harbor.

This fortress is one of Goa’s pre-eminent tourist spots and remains exceedingly popular to this day, probably due to the degree to which it has been preserved. Its formidable bulwarks and bastions are intact and fortify the area to this day.

Tall and proud, guarding the mouth of the harbor till this day, the Mormugao Fort has become a popular tourist attraction. The fort provides ample scope for lovers of scenic beauty and also for imaginative people who enjoy places steeped in historical significance.

The fort’s position overlooking the scenic Varca beach has also added to its charms. During the summer, when the traditional wooden fishing boats are lined up on the shore, the beach presents a pleasing spectacle of which the fort has a bird’s eye view.

All in all, this is a not to be missed attraction on your trip to Goa. A fort is a great place for a day trip although it is advisable to carry food and water with you, especially water. The location, not too distant from the city makes it a convenient stopover. It is also a brilliant example of fort architecture in Goa.
