MR R and I have passed Reis Magos Fort, always saying we
will visit one day. Last Sunday that day finally came, and we had a truly
enjoyable morning.
Since 1493 the fort has been a jail and a hospital until it
was abandoned in 1993.
Restoration work
on the fort began in 2008 with the funds being provided by the UK-based Helen
Hamlyn Trust, INTACH- a non-governmental organisation dealing with restorations
of monuments, and the Government of Goa. The fort is now converted into a
cultural centre, besides being used a tourist attraction.
