Much part of the Fort Aguada seems to be converted to a beach
Resort. We were not sure if the lower area facing the sea was accessible as it
seemed that entry was through Taj Vivanta. But we were able to see upper area with
old light house and huge water tank inside the fortified structure.
The entry to is very pleasing and is one of the best maintained
structures.
The History put up by Archeological survey of India talks in
detail about this structure.
The main entrance is well protected gate not easily visible.
The Magnificent view from the one of the towers inside the
fortress with the huge water tank in the center.
The fortified wall all around.
