Diu

Diu is an island located off the south coast of Gujarat with a unique atmosphere of Portugese architecture and Gujarati culture. Diu was a Portugese colony until 1961 when India took control.

The main attraction on Diu is the massive Portugese fort that was built in 1535 and is still well preserved. The ramparts have a number of cannons still in place and cannonballs can be seen where they fell centuries ago. The fort was constructed of limestone that was quarried on the island of Diu.
