The Reis Magos Fort is steeped in history, and has been recently (a couple of years now) renovated after having served as a prison for some time, and then being abandoned into ruins. My cousin Yogesh played a big part in the restoration, and it is always a special pleasure getting up there to enjoy the amazing views...
On a slight detour from Panaji to Baga-Calangute, this place is a must-visit for tourists and Goans alike.
Check it out the next time you are in Goa!

| Looking eastwards - towards the mouth of the Mandovi, Campal, the floating casinos, the Mandovi bridges and the state assembly |
 |
| A couple of rainy seasons have left amazing weeds and grass on the roofs, giving the fort a wonderful, authentic look |
