Reis Magos Fort

This guide to Reis Magos Fort in Goa follows the narrow stone quay where Portuguese viceroys once stepped ashore, and the fort that grew up around it after a Bijapur lookout first watched this river crossing in the fourteen nineties. You'll hear how Portuguese soldiers seized the site in the fifteen forties, rebuilt it against Maratha raiders in the seventeen hundreds, and how its role shifted once Goa's capital moved away and the guns fell silent. It traces the fort's turn toward a far grimmer use as a jail, a chapter that stretched on for decades before it finally ended.
