Fort Aguada
Built by the Portuguese in 1612 at the confluence of the Mandovi River and the Arabian Sea, this magnificently preserved fort was the first sight greeting arriving sailors. Climb to the solitary lighthouse for one of the finest coastal panoramas in India — ocean on three sides, palm canopy inland.
