Aguada Fort - was built by the Portuguese in 1609-1612, to control the entry into the river Mandovi and to protect Old Goa from potential enemy attacks.
A spring within the fort provided water supply to the ships that called there. The fort presently houses the Central Aguada Jail.
"Aguada" (meaning 'water' in Portuguese).

Helpfulness
This old portuguese fort stands on the beach south of Candolim, at the shore of the Mandovi river. Built in 1612, it was a reference point for the vessels coming from Europe at that times. And also a source of fresh water without having to go deep in the unknown forests.
Nowadays is a prison, so it can’t be visited, but you can walk to the lighthouse and have a wonderful view of the north beaches from there…
