Fort Aguada is one of the most famous forts you will come across in Goa. It lies in the Bardez taluka of Goa and is located near Sinquerim Beach. The fort is located at a distance of 15km from capital city Panjim. Fort Aguada is a seventeenth century fort constructed by the Portuguese to defend against the dutch & marathas. The fort is amidst picturesque surroundings & is built at the footsteps of sinquerim beach. It is a popular destination for shooting of many Indian movies. On the fort stands a four-storey Portuguese lighthouse, erected in 1864 which is the oldest of its kind in Asia. Fort Aguada provides stunning sunset views in the evening. The fort area is divided in two sections, a lower fort which is surrounded by bastions all around and an upper fort. The lower fort was primarily made for providing a safe cover to Portuguese ships while the upper fort was built to serve as a watering station to the ships. This is how the fort got its name “Aguada” meaning Water. Crews of passing ships would often visit to replenish their fresh water stores during Portuguese times. The famous Fort Aguada Taj Hotel of Goa is located in this area.
