Reis Magos Fort
Originally built in 1490 by Adil Shah and later taken over by the Portuguese in 1760, Reis Magos fort was build to protect the narrowest point on the mouth of an estuary of River Mandovi. Approximately two miles on north east of Fort Aguada, Reis Magos fort lies in the district of Bardez. After Portuguese left Goa, the fort was being used as prison. Of late, it has been proposed for a hotel.
Though the fort is way behind other forts in Goa in respect of its size but because of its eminent positioning, it offers a wide angle view. The fort is in a fairly good state of preservation, Towards its base is the Reis Magos church. For the best views, take a look from the rooms.
