| Description |
Lighthouse on Fort Aguada, Goa. This 13m high lighthouse atop the Fort built on a hill overlooking the Arabian Sea and the river Mandovi was built in 1864, reportedly the oldest of it's kind in Asia and remains functional to this day. A new , taller lighthouse has now come up beside it, but it isn't as beautiful! The Fort itself was built in 1612 to check the invasions from the Dutch and the Marathas, it proved to be the only fort that remained unconquered during the 450-yr long Portuguese rule. Its walls are 5 m high and 1.3 m wide. There is a large well and a number of springs around the fort providing fresh drinking water to the ships which used to stop here, hence the name Aguada. Some of it's buildings are still used as a prison. |
