Reis Magos Fort Goa
The history of Reis Magos Fort dates back to 1493. Earlier it was used for defense, then as a jail which later transformed into a hospital. Being one of the oldest forts in Goa, it has now been identified as a Cultural and Heritage Centre.
Located on the banks of the Mandovi river, the monument is so huge that it is conspicuous from any point in the river.
The artistry inside the fort is a pièce de résistance due to the astonishing carvings. The fort is owned by the Government of Goa. Its restoration began in 2008 with the fundings from INTACH, a UK-based non-governmental organization, and was opened for the view in June 2012. It is almost 7 km away from the Panjim Bus Stand.
