The Cabo De Rama fort in South Goa is yet another incredible landmark for a visit. The fort derives its name from an interesting story associated with it. As per legend, Rama, from the great Hindu Epic of Ramayana took refuge in this fort with his wife Sita during his exile. The control of the fort has exchanged hands between the various rulers of Goa, Hindu, Muslim and Portuguese. After the Portuguese left, the fort remained abandoned till 1965 when it was used as a government prison. Today however the fort serves purely as a tourist attraction where people come to enjoy the scenic views and mystical charm.
