Tips from locals
If you think that forts are always colossal structures, then you obviously haven’t paid a visit to Corjuem Fort yet. One of the smaller forts in Goa, it owes its origin to the Maratha rulers who constructed it in the early part of the 18th century. The fortress stands on an island in Corjuem River at a distance of about 4 km from Aldona village. When the fort came under the control of Portuguese rulers, it got a makeover that reflected the taste of its new occupants. They used it as a military fortress to strengthen their defense base in this coastal part of India. Today, the fort is a protected monument and attracts tourists all year round. What Corjuem Fort loses out in size, it makes up for in vistas. Yes, the fort offers spellbinding views of the river and the land beyond it. Don’t miss out on this fort during your next trip to Goa.
