Usually Aguada Fort is very crowded with tourists, so it's recommended to reach there early, which essentially means 10 am and explore the place. After our visit to Aguada Fort, we drove to the beach which was near Goa Jail. Many of the folks were doing fishing there and we saw hundreds of crabs on the beach. This was an awesome experience and we shall dedicate a separate Photo Journey to those crabs :)Many times, Goans confuse the fort with Aguada fort Taj which comes on the way to the fort and it's one of the most popular properties to stay in Goa. Apart from that many folks visit Vivanta by Taj and beaches around it. It has also become one of the main tourist destination. There are few fort like structures around Vivanta where tourists like to visit to witness high tides of the seaName of Aguada Fort is taken from freshwater spring which used to suppy water to the ships coming there. 'Agua' in actually a portuguese means water, and hence the fort was named 'Aguada' to denote a place where water is accumulated. There was time when fort was protected by more than 200 cannons and a deep dry moat, which one still has to cross to get inside.

It seems that the land around the fort is now owned by The Indian Hotels Company. On the ramparts behind the fort is the Fort Aguada Beach Resort. This property is owned by Tatas and is part of an 85+ acres complex overlooking the Arabian Sea. It is situated on Sinquerim Beach and looks beautiful from road. Fort Aguada Beach Resort looks awesome with beautiful villas and cottages, with unmatchable views of Arabian sea.We didn't spend much time around Aguada Fort, as the list to do was long and there were many more exciting things in our mind. But it was wroth visiting Aguada Fort for short splan of time... On the back journey we noticed a beautoful beach with lot of ships parked there and planned to visit the same. It was Coco beach and following link shares the exciting experience with fishermen on the Coco Beach.

It's open on all days of the week. I thought of sharing timings here because, before coming to Aguada Fort we checked for two things - Timings & it's location on Map. Aguada fort map is much needed becausin Goa, you get different information about this fort from different sources. We realized that the name Aguada is used by many properties and many times people may guide you to some property.The Aguada fort was constructed in 16th centuary to guard this land against the Dutch and the Marathas. Aguada was a reference point for the vessels coming from Europe in old days. Aguada is an old Portuguese fort which is on south of Candolim beach and stands at the shore of the Mandovi River.Above photogrph shows amazing views of Arabic Sea... As shown in bollywood movie 'Rang de Basanti', this place expose tourists to some of the unique views & experiences of Goa. We went there in morning and found it best time to visit. Usually Aguada Fort is very crowded with tourists, so it's recommended to reach there early, which essentially means 10 am and explore the place. After our visit to Aguada Fort, we drove to the beach which was near Goa Jail. Many of the folks were doing fishing there and we saw hundreds of crabs on the beach. This was an awesome experience and we shall dedicate a separate Photo Journey to those crabs :)Many times, Goans confuse the fort with Aguada fort Taj which comes on the way to the fort and it's one of the most popular properties to stay in Goa. Apart from that many folks visit Vivanta by Taj and beaches around it. It has also become one of the main tourist destination. There are few fort like structures around Vivanta where tourists like to visit to witness high tides of the seaName of Aguada Fort is taken from freshwater spring which used to suppy water to the ships coming there. 'Agua' in actually a portuguese means water, and hence the fort was named 'Aguada' to denote a place where water is accumulated. There was time when fort was protected by more than 200 cannons and a deep dry moat, which one still has to cross to get inside. More details about history of this fort can be checked at - http://www.goatourism.gov.in/destinations/forts/150-aguada-fortFort has multiple levels and one needs to climb stairs to explore fort, so it's not recommended for folks having trouble in climbing high places and in general one needs to walk a lot to explore the fort. It seems that the land around the fort is now owned by The Indian Hotels Company. On the ramparts behind the fort is the Fort Aguada Beach Resort. This property is owned by Tatas and is part of an 85+ acres complex overlooking the Arabian Sea. It is situated on Sinquerim Beach and looks beautiful from road. Fort Aguada Beach Resort looks awesome with beautiful villas and cottages, with unmatchable views of Arabian sea.We didn't spend much time around Aguada Fort, as the list to do was long and there were many more exciting things in our mind. But it was wroth visiting Aguada Fort for short splan of time... On the back journey we noticed a beautoful beach with lot of ships parked there and planned to visit the same. It was Coco beach and following link shares the exciting experience with fishermen on the Coco Beach.

Different beaches come to our mind when we think about Goa, but Goa has many other interesting things to explore. And Old Goa has some of the beautiful architecture which takes you to a very different world. In this particular post, we are talking about two main churches situated in Old Goa - 'Se Cathedral' & 'Basilica of Bom Jesus'.The very first photograph of this Photo Journey shows entry to the Basilica of Bom Jesus which is located in old part of Goa. The Vasilica of Bom jesus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Basilica holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier. There aresome very interesting facts associated with this place and we recommend to find a guide to walk you through some of the interesting elements of The Basalica. It was third day of our Goa Trip, when we though of exploring Southern part of Goa. Old Goa is in southern region. From Panjim, one needs to drive through Goa Institute of Management to reach Se Catheral and Basilica of Bom Jesus. Both of these campuses are nearby and at walking distance. So we parked our car near Se Cathedral. Spent some time around the Cathedral and then walked to the Basilica.Se Cathedral is also known as The Se Catedral de Santa Catarina. This is the cathedral of the Latin Rite Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Goa. Supposedly it's considered as the largest church in India, which is dedicated to Catherine of Alexandria. Se Cathedral is one of the oldest and most celebrated religious buildings in Goa and is one of the largest churches in Asia as well.Above photograph shows the view of Cathedral from Basilica of Bom Jesus. Both of these are located across the road in Old Goa. Above photograph shows interiors of the Basilica of Bom Jesus. This church is located in Old Goa, which was the capital of Goa in the early days of Portuguese rule. 'Bom Jesus' name is used for the infant Jesus. The church is India’s first minor basilica which is considered to be one of the best examples of baroque architecture in India.Another view of Cathedral from Basilica. Cathedral's tower has a large bell which is popularly known as the 'Golden Bell' on account of its rich tone. There is an altar, which is dedicated to Catherine of Alexandria and there are various old paintings on both the sides. On the right hand side, there is a Chapel of the Cross of Miracles. Check out more about this cathedral at - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Se_CathedralIf I try to summarize overall experience of Old Goa, it was more about Portuguese architecture. Both Se cathedral and Basilica of Bom Jesus are in a huge area and very well maintained. Both of these are very high buildings with some of the cool painting and sculptures. To me the marvelous architecture was beautiful thing to explore in Old Goahe architectural style of the Se Cathedral is Portuguese-Manueline. The exterior is Tuscan, whereas the interior is Corinthian. The church is very long &approximately 250 feet. And the breadth is bit more than 180 feet. Architecture was something that I could appreciate the most around this place & old Goa.This was shot inside the Basilica of Bom Jesus and wikipedia has very intersting details about it's architecture, which we missed exploring during the visit. Actually we had to go to Spice plantation on same day and didn't want to miss because of timings. Check out wiki link to know more about Basilica - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_Bom_Jesus
