A very good place for beautiful photos and backdrops. Children will enjoy a lot running round and round. There are a number of eateries outside the place. This fort is very nice and one can visit this along with the light house which ia near by. There is entry fees to enter the place and one can explore the place by walking everywhere. There are different spots to view different views and one can spend their time watching them and clicking pictures. It is a huge fort with lots of apace in the middle.A historical monument.

There is a jail and a lighthouse nearby. The place is a beautiful place to visit sunset.

The fort is an immense knowledge book. But as any historical place it needs time and a good guide. If you are running short of time, you may not like the fort and it's surroundings. The surrounding area needs 3-6 hours to explore depending on your fitness level. The fort takes about an hour to roam at peace . The water cooler was not working during my time. Their are plenty of food stalls outside to take care for your food, water and juices. You will need to walk and in the sun it can be really hot. The fort is divided in various sectors. The vehicle reaches only the top part. For the other sector one needs to trek around. Best time to trek is early in the morning just before sunrise. Best time to visit the lighthouse which is next to fort is evening. Also, consider the parking for two wheeler’s is 50/-.

Aguada Fort offers a captivating blend of history and scenic beauty. Perched on the cliffs overlooking the Arabian Sea in Goa, India, this 17th-century fortress impresses with its robust architecture and panoramic views. The well-preserved lighthouse and the freshwater Aguada Spring within the fort add to its charm. Whether you're a history enthusiast or seeking a picturesque spot, Aguada Fort delivers a memorable experience. However, limited signage and information might leave some visitors craving more historical context. Overall, a must-visit destination for those exploring Goa's rich heritage.

Nice view of Arabian sea and greenery around. A must visit place while in Goa. The place is very pleasant and marvelous and scenic. One of the highlights of Aguada Fort is undoubtedly the breathtaking sunset it offers. As the sun slowly dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, it creates a mesmerizing spectacle that is nothing short of magical. It's an ideal spot for couples seeking a romantic evening or photographers looking to capture nature's beauty at its finest. A nicely maintained fort + lighthouse that provides both different experience during summer and monsoon. During monsoon don't carry umbrella as winds are too strong to break it apart. Crowds can be expected during most of the days...but there is not much to see here as most of the underground gates are locked. The ticket counter people are quick.

Aguada Fort is a must-visit for history buffs and anyone seeking a blend of cultural exploration and scenic beauty in the vibrant landscape of Goa.

The place is good for photography. Would rate it a 3 star out of 5 for the below reasons - 1. Non cooperative staff 2. Parking is given to a Contractor who doesn't behave well 3. Only cash is the payment option. They have the QR code for UPI payment, but it doesn't work. The parking fee is ₹50 for 2 wheelers and ₹100 for 4 wheelers. The entry fee to the fort is ₹25 per person and for foreigners it's ₹300. Children below the age of 15 have free entry.

I recently visited Aguada Fort, and I must say it left a lasting impression on me. The first thing that struck me was how impeccably clean and beautiful the fort was. The pristine condition of this historical site added to its charm. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the mesmerizing sea view. The fort offers a stunning panoramic view of the sea, which is a sight to behold. However, it's worth noting that the popularity of this destination does make it a bit crowded, so be prepared for that. The journey to reach the fort is an adventure in itself. The scenic route leading up to Aguada Fort is nothing short of breathtaking, and I highly recommend capturing the moment with a few pictures. Spending time at Aguada Fort was a delight. It's not just a historical site; it's an experience. I found myself immersed in its history and beauty. It's safe to say that I fell in love with this place. Aguada Fort is undeniably a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the area.

Fort Aguada Goa is a historical and scenic attraction that offers a glimpse of the Portuguese era in India. The fort was built in 1612 to protect the coast from the Dutch and other invaders. It also served as a watering station for the ships that sailed from Europe. The fort has a lighthouse, a moat, a water storage chamber, a gunpowder room, and a secret escape passage. The fort is located on a hill overlooking the Arabian Sea and the Sinquerim Beach. The view from the fort is stunning and serene. The fort is open to visitors from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm every day.

It's one old fort which is renovated well. Where it's surrounded by beach on the other end. The fort is one epic monument. You can enjoy the landscapes. In Goa, whomsoever visits it's once of a tourist most visited place. Enjoy well and let you share the experience about it on my post.

Best place. A jail turned into museum. It gives an insight into Goa's history and cultures from the same prison cells where freedom fighters were held captive. They have nice, fun and interactive way of educating people. If in Goa you need to visit this place once to know more of Goa's history and culture

Timings The Fort Aguada is open all days of the week from 9.30am to 6.00pm. How to reach here. There are two options to reach the hilltop fort. The 4 km long road from Sinquerim beach is used by motor vehicles. The other is a shorter 2 km foot path, but it should be noted that it is a steep climb. Fort Aguada is a well-preserved seventeenth-century Portuguese fort, along with a lighthouse, standing in Goa, India, on Sinquerim Beach, overlooking the Arabian Sea. There was a large bell on the lighthouse which was found in the ruins of Saint Augustus monastery in Old Goa. It is named for the fresh water spring that gives the fort a constant supply of potable water, ‘agua’ being the Portuguese word for water and ‘Aguada’ signifying a place where water is collected. So well built and fiercely armed was this fort that it has never fallen into enemy hands.

largest sea view portugese fort Aguada along with a lighthouse, standing in Goa which is well preseved compared to our ancient holy temples... proof that how we are neglecting our culture in the name of western education and their culture

Fort Aguada is a must-visit destination in Goa, offering a captivating journey into history amidst breathtaking surroundings. While previously admission was free, the recent implementation of an entry fee reflects a trend of over-monetizing attractions in the region. Nevertheless, the fort remains a remarkable spot, providing visitors with a profound connection to the past and stunning views of its surroundings.

Last time I visited this place there was no proper walking pathway or ticketing or parking system and this was 10.years back. But recently it has been developed and maintained very nicely. Must visit for a sunset view. But nothing much inside the fort but can be part of a to do list. The drive to this place is pleasant and it's uphil. Walking is not recommended. Parking is 50 bucks for a bike and 30 bucks entry per person. Closes at 6PM sharp.

Must visit place: If you are visiting north goa it’s a go to place. This place has a wonderful sea view, restaurants and museums. It will take approx 2 hours + to enjoy this place. Place is well preserved and will give you amazing experience of 400 year old structure. There are proper audio recordings available inside the fort for 🆓. Parking space is available

The fort is constructed in red stone.Entry ticket for Indian is 25 rs each person. Recommended to Visit the place early morning or at evening. The entry of fort close at 5 pm. The view from the fort is awesome.

Its a Portuguese Fort along with a Light house. It gives a lovely view of Arabian sea and ships, yachts passing by. Its quite near to Sinquerim Beach. Its one of the mandate place to visit if you are visiting North Goa. If you are in long holiday then prefer evening time to visit here. These are pictures taken before Covid. Due to Government guidelines of Covid, the place remains mostly closed nowadays.

The fort is very nice. The scenery from the fort is beautiful. The walls are built with a different stones. All the fort looks same construction. There is a light house. We can see the nature's beauty with pleasant sea from the top of fort. As we went at the time of sunset we enjoyed the view.

Aguada Fort offers splendid views from the top, allowing you to see the sea in all its beauty. I recommend bringing an umbrella, as a cap or hat may not provide sufficient shade from the intense sunlight. Despite the heat, the fort is definitely worth a visit

one of the famour icon of GOA old jail which was used by britishers.. and light house beautiful fort with the view of sea the location and view will mesmerize you take a walk from fort to have a view of sea which will be even more beautiful Caution : carry water bottles and snack with u ..!! no shops here for eateries they charge 100rs for parking car due to covid the fort is closed..!! ebtry is prohobited as of now..!!

It's nice but not practically worth the money they are asking for tickets. The fort is nice but just normal, nothing extraordinary to be honest. The old light house looks good and an ancient structural attraction. However, the modern new light house is recommended to visit even more, as it's perfectly functioning and just beside the fort. If you're traveling a very long distance just to cover this fort. I'd say "No, not really" ... Truly quite overrated. And yes get something in the food stalls in front of the fort, if and only if it's absolutely necessary, as the prices are unethically surged for no reason at all.

Small fort of historical importance. Beautiful views of sea from the fort. One level down was a jail in Portuguese rule. Lighthouse is very photogenic. Recommend to visit early morning and evening though it doesn't open by sunrise and closes by sunset. Day time in summers is hot.

Agauda fort location is a very nice but problem is there network issue & they are not allowed to enter without ticket thare are policy to bring the ticket online but the should provide offline ticket. Overall the location look good and remember us history. There are fort and look historical place.

The main thing people need to know is about the tickets. A 20 rs ticket is charged per person which can be obtained only online due to covid times. You also have to pay for parking your 2 wheeler (50 rs)or 4 wheeler. Due to network issues near the fort its difficult to pay and u might waste half an hour . Its open till 6 pm. So book your tickets well in advance. About the view , its ultimate. You can enjoy the sunset from here too.

Massive fort with empty spaces and with the view of incredible Indian ocean. The lighthouse is great to watch but entry is not allowed. Beware of parking scammers as they charge 100 bucks just to park your car.

The fort is temporarily closed right now due to covid 19 restrictions. So didn't get the chance to vist it actually but there is a trail that leads to the edge of mountain that gives you mesmerizing views. Would definitely go there again for the views from the trail. The trek will even lead you to lower aguada and aguada caves.

It's a lovely place to visit in the evening, you can see Underground jails that was built long time ago, but it's locked and you cannot enter there. The view of the sea is awesome and when the sun settle down it adds more of beauty to the view.

A real fort with all history in it. A place which is so crowded. 50 for the bike parking and 50 for entry ticket. Walk few hundred meters and Viola there's the fort. A vast big fort which is designed so good, a built in watch tower, a big underground jail which both will be closed and not for civilians. Enjoy the view around, you'll miss a beat. There's a fully functional light house nearby which restrict entry for us. Best to see at 11 at morning or after 3 by evening Wonderful fort built by the Portuguese for watering the ships and also for irrigation purpose . Now a monument ... Could have been great if it was given little more care and maintenance ... Good to visit at least once ... Scenic beauty is also a great advantage.

The fort can be maintained well by archeological department. Ticket counter is fine. There can be a guided tour or information about the fort or rooms at many places instead of just 2/3 places. Toilets are too high for children and the flush does not work. Plus no tissue papers to dry hands.

Another fort that was like a viewpoint with not many structures standing inside the fort walls. But the view of the panjim mainland is beautiful from here. Timings are till 6pm so make sure you reach there 2hrs before to spend enough time inside. It costs Rs 25 per person to enter. You have enough places to eat just outside the fort.

Place of tourist interest, must visit place if you are having Goa tour, it's beach side fort. Beauty of of beach so much soothing from here. Overall it's nice place to visit. Protected by archaeological survey of India. Entry fee Rs 25 per adult. Children free.

fort was good and not much crowded this time. Construction work for betterment is happening so hopefully it will be good place to visit down the line. Few scenic points where you can capture really nice pictures. Old fort with his history is described in few places. Kids also enjoyed walking around the fort. Its not too big or too small to spend couple of hours. Food stalls are just out side the fort entrance which helps to stay hydrated.

Aguada Fort, a 1612 Portuguese fortress located in Goa, is a historic landmark that offers visitors a glimpse into the state's rich cultural past. The fort, which is situated on a hilltop overlooking the Arabian Sea, provides sweeping ocean views and a fascinating look at Goa's colonial history. One of the things that immediately stands out about Aguada Fort is its size. The fort is quite large and features a variety of structures, including a lighthouse that was erected in 1864. Although the fort is in a state of disrepair, it is still an impressive structure that is worth exploring. However, despite its size and historical significance, there is not much to see at Aguada Fort. Most of the structures are in ruins, and there are few exhibits or artifacts to explain the history of the fort. The abandoned lighthouse is also off-limits to visitors, which is disappointing. Visitors must pay an entry fee of 25 rupees for Indians and 100 rupees for foreigners to access the fort. While the fee is not particularly high, some visitors may feel that it is not worth the cost given the lack of things to see. One of the highlights of Aguada Fort is the stunning view of the Arabian Sea from the hilltop. You can see the water from the fort, and the view is particularly breathtaking at sunset. This makes the fort a popular spot for photographers and tourists looking to take in the natural beauty of the region. Overall, Aguada Fort is an interesting historical site that provides a glimpse into Goa's colonial past. While the lack of exhibits and the state of disrepair may be disappointing for some visitors, the stunning views of the ocean and the natural beauty of the region make it worth a visit for those interested in history and architecture.

Lovely fort, fantastic view over the bay. Downside, they will ask you where do you coming from and if they decide it's a wealthy country your ticket price rocketing pretty quick. On top you'll pay for parking - there's no parking lot and obviously space for parking 😂 Good old trick.... Toilets are reasonably clean (female side a bit under estimated in cabin numbers I've heard 😉) Only local street food outside the fort.

The Aguada lighthouse is definitely worth visiting, it will take a maximum of an hour depending on the time of your visit. We visited in peak summer post lunch, it was scorching hot. But we had good time as the heat was tolerable and we were equipped to beat the heat. The Fort is open at 9:30 am to 6:30 pm on all days of the week, its well maintained and during our visit the garden landscaping was in progress, which looked promising. The fort also features a high tower or citadel and apparently there is a secret passage running from the tower down through the fort, which we didn't get a chance to explore. What was intriguing was the name of the fort, 'Aguada' meaning watery in Portuguese, and apparently there was/is a fresh water spring on the location which was source of water for the sailors during 1600s. Fascinating!

The aguada fort is must visit place. It will take around an hour depending on time of visit. You can see the best view of north goa from here. The fort itself is well-preserved and offers a glimpse into the region's rich history. The architecture of the fort is impressive, and the views of the Arabian Sea from the top of the fort are stunning. One of the main highlights of the fort is the lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. The lighthouse is accessible via a short climb, and the views from the top are definitely worth the effort. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Fort Aguada for anyone interested in history or architecture. The fort is well-maintained, and the surrounding area is also quite beautiful. It's a great way to spend a few hours learning about the history of Goa and enjoying some breathtaking views.

Excellent place if the weather allows it to be. The place has its own simple history, but the local guides seemed to make things up, including calling a water tank an underground jail. This place is a must visit in overcast conditions. The lighting is just right and you can expect great photos on the sea facing wall of the fort.

Aguada Fort in Goa is a historical marvel that exudes grandeur and charm. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Arabian Sea, the fort offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline. The sturdy architecture of the fort, with its intricate detailing, is a testament to the rich history of Goa. Exploring the fort's various sections, including the lighthouse and the impressive water storage system, provides an insightful glimpse into the past. The surrounding lush greenery adds to the fort's allure, making it an ideal spot for photography and leisurely strolls. Aguada Fort is a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking a blend of architectural beauty and natural splendor.

Good place if bored on the beaches definitely come here. You can click photos with lovely view points. Avoid to go on sunrise. Evening is the best time and remember it closes at 6 pm.

Fort Aguada offered a memorable experience, with moments of enjoyment overshadowed by the crowds. The historical charm and scenic views were noteworthy, but the overcrowding took away from the tranquility. Despite the bustling atmosphere, I managed to have a good time exploring this iconic fort.

This is only worth a visit for the great view of the sea. I went on a weekday, so it wasn't very crowded. Wear your hats & caps, because there isn't any shade inside the fort premises so it can get really hot. Overheard a bunch of tourists regretting visiting the place in October and wondering if they should've come in December. You also need to club Fort Aguada with a bunch of other activities around the area (which I did), because exploring the fort takes about 20-30 minutes max. And unless you get lucky with pleasant weather, or carry a massive picnic umbrella, you really can't spend more time than that.

Entrance fees are Rs. 25. Entrance is free for kids less than 15 years. We need to walk some distance from the ticket counter. 2 places ticket will be checked. It's one of the oldest forts somewhere during the 16th century. The archeological department is trying to maintain this place well. We can take pics from different places of this fort. I will post photos that show the history of this fort for all your references. It's well built construction and strong enough. Constructed by using big stones. A person who is interested in seeing Fort can visit here.

Nice place to visit, giving four stars just because of the ticketing chaos. Book your tickets online before reaching the place on asi.payumoney.com you don't get internet connection there. Do visit the place in the morning.

It's okay but too much hot if you visit in mid of day at time of new year. People have to book online ticket through provided link shared on banner at entrance gate. Main issue was with network to book this ticket online.

An historic place of some significance for people with interest but personally I felt it a bit boring with broad based mismanagement of everything from tickets to drinking water. Also nothing much to see or explore. But a good view of the sunset.

Aguada fort located in Candolim Goa. We rode around 35+ km to reach the destination and came to know that Online Booking is mandatory for fort entry. (May be due to Covid), but worst part is you may not get proper(Jio and Airtel). We almost wasted 1Hr for that. Fort location is beautiful and breadth taking Sea view (Sinquerim Beach). Just considering fort it’s an average visiting place, huge but simple fort. It has lighthouse inside the fort.

Nice and neat. You have to book the ticket online to enter the fort and there is no network in that area it is a bit Hassle.

Very important message... 🚩🚩🚩 100 parking fees.. from m he road itself .. Then gate pass.. through online 🚩🚩 it's also additional .. Inside again one more ticket .. .. nothing to seen inside .. During covid times they are increased double charge.... Very very very bad 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

Loads of spots for absolutely superb photography, but make sure you wear a good sunscreen. Tickets are only available online in Covid times, so book them beforehand and download a receipt. Remember internet is a struggle at the fort.

Everything is fine but the online ticket booking is hectic as the signals are down !

Too sunny...we can go for this place only for taking pictures....

Beautiful place to visit in Goa

Nice

Fort structure has collapsed and only external walls remain. Old light house is still intact. Good place for a sunset

The authorities are useless at the ticket counter and are very rude and arrogant to the tourists. They make us to buy entry tickets online (asi.payumoney.com) and there's no absolute network in that area where we have to struggle to buy the tickets standing outside in the crowd. It took me nearly 30 minutes to get the confirmation of the entry ticket and staffs are too rude and do not even respect the ladies. The place is OK and could have been neat and its not worthy to wait outside and struggle to pay the ticket standing for that long. Goa Government, teach your staffs to be polite to the the tourists and hire educated people!

Place is good.. but if you really have no time in Goa and you have to choose one out of two.. go for second one don't go for aguada fort.

Time waste

Beautiful View

Time waste

Very good tourist attraction. You should spend half day here. If possible take the e-ticket earlier itself to avoid disappointment in the gate as they will take only e-ticket. Or pay u money app downloaded. Less than@3 years children are free entry.

Wowwwww very hot

Very nice fort site to visit in Goa, good site for sea ciew photography ...

Definitely the best for the photoshoot lovers Pleasant and quiet place The best part of it that it has the best view point

Beautiful

Loved it.... Very nicee ...... ......

Not too much to do except 1-2 photography points. Very small. 2 wheeler parking ₹50 and entry ticket ₹25

Good view of the sea from the top..

Nothing special here. This is very small fort where you will get the heat of Goa. If you want to click pictures then only plan to visit this fort else enjoy your quality time at beach with child beer.

Reaching this destination is project. When reach you have to stranded for online ticket.there is no proper internet network. Rest is your fate.

Beautiful view of the beach from the fort.

A famous fort in Goa one of the best examples of structures in goa

Nice place to visit presently ticket are issued limited online only

Best

Very bad place

Unless knowing the history, no point to visit this place.

Nice fort to visit

One of the best tourist attractions in Goa. The fort closes by 6pm and ticket booking closes by 5pm. Due to covid the entry ticket booking is done via a QR code, you would need to scan and book your own tickets.Airtel coverage is extremely bad on the hill. You are forced to pay the parking fee of 100rs for cars even before you book your tickets, so please keep that in mind. You can book up to 5 Adults by scanning once.

You need to book entry tickets online (you won't get proper mobile signal at the Fort). Fort was well maintained. Views were excellent. Don't miss this place.

Must visit in Goa...

Place is ok kind. One time can watch

Built by Portuguese in 1610 to.thwart the Dutch and English . Imposing keeping a watch over Sea.

Purpose of place using is good at that time . Now it's looking like just a stachu for visitors

Fort in goa

Must visit

Nice place to visit for sure.... The view is great

Good place for photography

The main problem.you will face here is the ENTRY Ticket. We need to scan a QR code and fill in the Entrant's details and Pay online. The main problem here is, there is No Proper Network in that area. Airtel...Jio does not work. Many people returned back because of this problem(including me). NOTE: We cannot scan the QR code from Phonepe, Google pay etc. We need to scan from Normal QR scanner, then it will open us a link, from that we need to fill in the details and Pay (Try paying).

Not so attractive place to visit

The place is quite good and descent. The only confusion almost every visitor had was related to the entry fee. On spot we got to know that entry fee should be made online via the link provided. The main challenging part was to get network out there as all the networks are out of reach and luckily somehow I found a spot where I got my network and we registered and paid the entry fees online immediately. Just a suggestion: There should be one offline helpdesk where people can pay to get entry and visit the fort instead of wasting time to get the network outside. Overall, the view from inside is really good and it is well maintained. Kudos 👍👍

So Big this Fort is...its nice...having a nice scenic view...there is entry fee its 25rs per person..washroom is also good..clean..!

Nice place to visit when you are in Goa! Recent changes due to Covid-19 require you to purchase tickets online. No network coverage near the entry. Recommend buying tickets in advance.

Nice sea view from the fort. They have timings to visit the fort when I went. Its great to see the architecture. Food options are not much, there was only lemon soda available, until unless you wanna click some photos, we can roam around the place in 1 hour.

It's a awesome And One of the beautiful fort in Goa,beautiful view of sea,junction of Mandovi river And Arabian sea.Inside light house public are not allowed.

One of the best scenic place in Goa ! A landscape to sit for hours and cherish the moment. Had a great time here with my wolf pack.

Nice

Well maintained ford but I didn't like E-ticket system. You hardly get any network and they asked you to buy ticket online..I had to walked 1-2 km away from fort then booked ticket and then I got entry!!!

Good house

Nice place for a decent trek and for enjoying the sunset.

It is amazing places as i have expected. Little time taking. Photogenic is the place not human ( Just kidding ). You will love it. Note :: Go in morning but not in afternoon.Its very hot place. Entry fee is online due to corona. Entry fee is 20 rs and parking is 50 rs( This is what i hate the most. 50 rs for parking )

So the crowd you see outside the gate is people trying to scan qr code and book tickets to enter inside. Problem is there is hardly any network and people are seen scrambling to book tickets. Can't there be a single counter for spot booking. Nobody is bothered and visitors are left to fend for themselves. So book your tickets online on asi website and then proceed.

🤩🤩🤩 Historical Monument.

Good place but no mobile phone signal

Awesome destination to relax and take memorizing pics

Nice place to click some candid pics

For pictures is good

Nice

Good

Nice place to visit near beach

Nice view

(Translated by Google) Okayish (Original) Okayish

Yeah...once to visit place while in goa

Very nice view

🤘

I don't understand why do people come here. Now they charge 100 bucks for parking and 20 per head as entry which is a painful task as one needs to scan a QR code for payment and there is no network. Huh.. it was a painful task for me and my mates to get on the fort to find out that there's nothing there.

This Portuguese Fort is one of the tourist spot of Goa. We can have good sight of Arabian sea from this fort. Good location for Photography lovers.

One of the popular places in North Goa. It's a fort built overlooking the sea with a beautiful view point. It's a small fort. Good place for photoshoots.

Beautiful place to visit with serene view of sea and ofcourse the pics taken here comes out to be amazing due to the black fort and mesmerizing view.

Its a Portuguese Fort alongside a Light house. It gives a dazzling perspective on Arabian ocean and boats, yachts cruising by. Its very close to Sinquerim Beach. Its one of the command spot to visit in case you are visiting North Goa. On the off chance that you are in extended vacation, lean toward evening time to visit here. These are pictures taken before Covid. Because of Government rules of Covid, the spot remains generally shut these days.

Actually this is not a fort at all we don't even get the fort feeling when we visit this place only what we can see here is that large walls and empty garden area and a Large tower good place for photo shoot

U can actually feel the ancient fort vibes here . There is a light house and a big water tank surrounding the fort . View of the sea is excellent . Parking and entrance is chargeable . Can put in a bucket list for goa trip .

Maintained by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is one of the tourist spot of Goa. It is a good location for photographers and this place has historical importance too. Tip : Take a guide with you. Important note : "6pm is closing time "

Highly recommended place to visit.If you are a adventurous traveller you can explore more here.

Good place, well maintained, entry fees of Rs.25/-. Best time to visit.. morning and evening.. avoid visiting in afternoon time..

Nice Fort. Entry fee 25rs per person. Good view

Wonderful fort built by the Portuguese for watering the ships and also for irrigation purpose. Now a monument... Could have been great if it was given little more care and maintenance... Good to visit at least once... Scenic beauty is also a great advantage.

Its got some really beautiful spots, from where the views are really breathtaking. The Lighthouse itself is really well maintained despite the age it has seen. Although, during these difficult times, the Pandemic related behaviour is missing from majority of the visitors and the staff. Please be carefull and take all the safety measures.

Very peaceful place. You have to wear Cap 🎩must. Enjoy the place with girlfriend and family. Also light house there. Fort protected by khai all side. Portuguese were so smart that time.

You can sit and relax in the evenings watching the sea and sounds... They have improved it better and have a parking place for 4 wheeler too. You can walk down the stairs and watch the shore and waves. Scenic place

Do visit this place. Not because movies were shot here, but the view is epic. Also has a church on the way. Parking is near the helipad and costs 100. Tickets to the fort are 25 per person. The lighthouse is being painted currently. Try to reach before 10 AM to avoid rush.

The fort has beautiful and eye catching views with miles and miles of sea to treat your eyes. The fort itself is not that interesting in my opinion. Besides it's architecture and a good view of the ocean, there's nothing much there. It feels empty for some reason yet satisfactory. The parking costs and the entry fees are something I feel is overpriced, so lowering the cost would do justice to the visitors.

Good fort for site seeing and bird capturing! Very picturesque and scenic place, must go for knowing the history of Goa and the fort is very old! Made by Portuguese for storing large amounts of water

Awesome views and a clean beach, not much crowded and nice viewpoints there. Although the main viewing area is not that safe and you have to be careful. Nice views of rocky beach and a bit of walk/hike with beautiful views of ocean. A must visit

It's a Portuguese fort in a hill with good view of the beach on one side. It also has a old lighthouse which is abandoned now and a huge water storage tank built by the Portuguese. It's better to avoid this place on weekends as it could get very crowded and also better to plan in the mornings or evenings as afternoons here are usually pretty hot!! After visiting this place don't miss the lower Aguada fort.

Aguada Fort and Jail are historic landmarks located in Goa, India. Aguada Fort, built in the 17th century, is a beautiful piece of architecture that boasts stunning views of the Arabian Sea. It is a perfect place to visit for anyone interested in history or architecture. The fort is well-maintained and provides an impressive backdrop for photo opportunities. The lighthouse and the ramparts offer breathtaking views of the sea, which makes it an ideal place for a sunset walk or a picnic.

The jail is now a museum, and it offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of colonial times.

Overall, Aguada Fort and Jail are two must-visit historical sites in Goa.

Material Used Laterite Fort Aguada: History Fort Aguada traces its origins to 1609 when its construction was started by the Portuguese who were ruling over the region. The construction continued for the next three years and was completed in 1612 under the supervision of Viceroy Ruy Tavara. The word Aguada means freshwater in Portuguese language and the fort derives its name from a freshwater spring located within it. It is recorded that crews of sailing ships used to replenish their stock of potable water from this spring. Aguada Fort was built to guard and defend the Portuguese stronghold in Goa against the Maratha and Dutch invaders. Owing to its location at the confluence of the Arabian Sea and the Mandovi River, it became the most prized fortress for the Portuguese back in the seventeenth century. In 1864, a four-storied lighthouse was erected within the fort’s premises. For a long time after that, the fort served as a reference point for the ships and vessels sailing in from Europe, thanks to the lighthouse. In 1976, the lighthouse was finally abandoned and it is currently closed to the public. However, there is a new lighthouse built in the fort premises, which is called the Aguada Lighthouse. Interestingly, the fort premises also houses a jail which was actively used during the administration of the 100th prime minister of Portugal, called Salazar. It is one of those few forts in India that has never been conquered by an enemy. Fort Aguada Architecture Aguada Fort is a splendid example of the Portuguese military style of architecture. It was constructed using laterite stone, which was found in abundance in Goa. The fort is categorized into two parts – the upper part and the lower part.

Loved the lower Aguada fort. Better views than upper one and an amazing museum. Never seen a museum better than this. Ticket is pricey but 100% worth it. Great interactive museum and very interesting if you actually are interested in knowing and if you have enough time.

Aguada Fort, perched majestically on the cliffs overlooking the Arabian Sea, is a testament to Goa's rich history.
