Reis Magos fort Goa: Don't miss
Reis Magos fort was the first place we visited after arriving in Goa and collecting Thar
Wikipedia has more details. So don’t skip this fort on your Goa tour.
Reis Magos is a nice fort in Goa but is less visited
compared to Aguda fort. Below are some photos of the fort I had clicked during
our August 2014 Goa trip.
Top deck has a few cannons, nice view of the ocean and an
art gallery. Refreshments are available for purchase here. Basement also has an
art gallery- basically bunkers or storage facilities converted into exhibition
places.
Reis Magos is older than Aguda fort and was also used as
prison…Cells with ocean view!
Lots of artwork, maps and other exhibits can be seen at the basement level.
Reis Magos church is located next to the fort- it was small, needed maintenance and was closed
What a coincidence: this week my blog too shares this fort :)
ReplyDeleteLovely post on Reis Magos fort. Loved the moss laden fort walls.

@Niranjan: Yes, in August, this place is a lot green and eye catching
Priyashi: Thanks
The green growth on the steps, pathways, etc. add splendor to the fort. Lovely pics.
