Cabo de Rama Fort
Cabo de Rama is named after Rama, a hero of the Ramayana epic. The fort existed long before the Portugese conquered in 1763. The Portugese practically rebuilt the fort but barely used it until the British occupation of Goa. The British army also occupied Cabo de Rama Fort between 1797-1813.
Several cannons line the ramparts of Cabo de Rama, and offer breathtaking views from the bastions. A small church within the walls of the fort is still in use.
