                        A splendid view of nearby beaches Anjuna and Vagator can 
                        be seen from here. The Portuguese had secured their rule 
                        in Goa but the threat from the Muslim and Maratha rulers 
                        persisted. To protect themselves from this risk, the Portuguese 
                        built the Chapora fort in 1617. However, unlike the Aguada 
                        fort, this fort did not remain unconquered.  |
