Explore the historic sea-level fortifications of Aguada Fort, offering striking views where the Mandovi River meets the Arabian Sea.
The Lower Aguada Fort is the sea-level section of the expansive 17th-century Aguada Fort complex. Positioned at the mouth of the Mandovi River, its primary structures include fortified walls, bastions, and a dry moat, all designed to defend against maritime attacks. Visitors can walk along the laterite stone ramparts that run parallel to the water, offering direct views of the river meeting the Arabian Sea and the coastline stretching towards Panjim. The atmosphere here is about the sea breeze and the historical weight of the structure.
