Cabo de Rama Fort

Cabo de Rama फोर्ट

Located in Goa's southern most Taluka Canacona, the fort takes its name from the name of Lord Rama of Ramayana, who had stayed in this place with his wife Sita during his period of exile. The fort has been a witness to history since long. It exchanged hands between Hindus and Portuguese and also housed British for a brief period. The fort has little to offer to its tourists except for the view from here to the north and south. You could gather some idea about its size from the ruins but little else. There is a dry moat, the front gate and a church inside. The whitewashed church looks contrasting with the black laterite walls of the ruins of the fort. A visit here will feel like an archeological expedition, there is hardly any sign of life here except for the birds and some monkeys.
