|
The village of Chapora is dominated by a rocky hill with a ruined Portugese fort on top. The fort was built in the 17th C to guard against Maratha attacks. Chapora fort was abandoned in the late 19th C when it was no longer needed as a line of defense.
The fortifications at Chapora feature Muslim tombs, ramparts and tunnels as well as a panoramic view of the Arabian Sea from the walls.
Chapora is located in an attractive and interesting part of North Goa's coastline. The village is a fishing community and resort area that is nestled under a canopy of dense coconut palms.
