Cabo de Rama Fort is one of the most underrated travel spots in Goa, located on the coast of Canacona (South Goa) in between Agonda & Cavelossim.
Although the Fort is currently in ruins, it’s a great place to visit to soak in the heritage and architectural styles, which are a mix of Indian and Portuguese. After the Brits invaded, Cabo de Rama was turned over to them in 1792 but they abandoned it in 1813. In 1935 it was turned into a Prison for 20 years but in 1955 it was left in ruins again and abandoned for the last time.
The present structure with its Walls, Moats and Cannons are remnants of the Portuguese era. If you have a sense of history you can stand there and imagine the soldiers keeping a look out. Inside Cabo de Rama is the Capela de Santo António, a chapel which is still in use today.
Cabo de Rama Fort offers panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, the perfect place for watching the Sunset makes it a worthwhile day trip in itself.
