Fort Aguada and its lighthouse is a well-preserved seventeenth-century Portuguese fort standing in Goa, India, on Sinquerim Beach, overlooking the Arabian Sea.
The fort was constructed in 1612 to guard against the Dutch and the Marathas. It was a reference point for the vessels coming from Europe at that time. This old Portuguese fort stands on the beach south of Candolim, at the shore of the Mandovi River. It was initially tasked with defense of shipping and the nearby Bardez sub district.
A freshwater spring within the fort provided water supply to the ships that used to stop by. This is how the fort got its name: Aguada, meaning Water. Crews of passing ships would often visit to replenish their fresh water stores. On the fort stands a four-storey Portuguese lighthouse, erected in 1864 and the oldest of its kind in Asia. Built in 1612, it was once the grandstand of 79 cannons. It has the capacity of storing 2,376,000 gallons of water, one of the biggest freshwater storages of the time in whole of Asia. This fort is divided in two segments: the upper part acted as fort and watering station, while the lower part served as a safe berth for Portuguese ships. Whereas the upper part has a moat, underground water storage chamber, gunpowder room, light house and bastions, it also has a secret escape passage to use during time of war and emergency. The lighthouse at initial stage is used to emit light once in 7 minutes. In 1834 it was changed to emit light creating eclipse every 30 seconds, however it was abandoned in 1976.
Dona Paula:
Dona Paula is a former village, and tourist destination, in the suburbs of Panaji, Goa, India.It is today home to the National Institute of Oceanography, and just alongside it lie the Goa University and the International Centre Goa. It is also home to a number of hotels, small and large.
The place is named after Paula Amaral Antonio de Souto Maior, a historical figure in Portuguese India. She was the daughter of the Portuguese Viceroy of Jaffnapatnam, in Sri Lanka. She and her family arrived in Goa in 1644 and she married a Fidalgo from Spain in 1656. Her husband was Dom Antonio Souto Maior. They were an extremely affluent family, and the entire property from the present day Cabo Raj Nivas all the way to Caranzalem belonged to the Souto Maior's. She died on December 21, 1682 .
Dona Paula was a woman of charity and is known to have helped the villagers and worked a lot for their betterment, so after her death, the villagers decided to rename the village as Dona Paula. Initially the village was called Oddavell.[2]
The Dona Paula Beach is also a major tourist attraction. According to a local myth, Dona Paula entombed in the Cabo Chapel, the residence of the Governor of Goa and is supposed to be seen emerging from the moonlit waves wearing only a pearl necklace. Several tourists as well as locals guided by this myth visit the beach for a glimpse of Dona Paula. The Cabo Raj Bhavan is situated at a scenic spot of Dona Paula. It is also home of a historic British war-graves cemetery. After the end of Portuguese rule in Goa in 1961, Dona Paula became a fashionable residential area and address.
Dona Paula is the home to some of the top Industrialists and policy makers of the state. It is also the most expensive residential location in Goa. The Raj Bhavan of Goa is located near the La Marvel Colony in Dona Paula
Dona Paula located on the beautiful and famous sea stretch that spans from Panjim, Miramar and Dona Paula is a very famous area frequented by tourists. During the tourist season, Dona Paula transforms into a crowded stretch which is otherwise a calm beautiful place during monsoons. A large part of the famous Hindi movie Ek Duuje Ke Liye was shot here, popularising the place further. An action sequence from Rohit Shetty's movie Singham was shot here. The idyllic rocky tourist attraction lies at the spot where the Mandovi and the Zuari rivers meet and confluences with the Arabian Sea at a distance of 1 km from this point.
One of the most curious attractions in Dona Paula is a whitewashed statue perched on the rocks near the popular ferry jetty. Sculpted in 1969 by Baroness Yrse Von Leistner, there are different versions to its purpose of origin. According to Goa Tourism Board's website, it is named Image of India and depicts the figures of Mother India and Young India, one looking to the East and the other to the West. The Wheel of Ashoka is in the middle half, buried in stone, to represent the ancient culture, that nurtured this blend of ideas and emotions. While in the book 'Walking in Goa' published by Heta Pandit, it is said that the Baroness had actually sculpted statues of philosopher Robert Knox and his wife because she admired him.

Visit to India - Part 39: Goa - Dona Paula
15th August 2013
After breakfast Deric drove us to the Governor's Palace, which is open to the public today as it is Indian Independence Day. We took the long walk through the gate to the chapel where everyone was gathered for a special service. We then walked to Dona Paula, a fishing village popular with locals as well as tourists. We thought we would get a bus back from there to the Kala Academy, but we were grabbed by some Time Share touts who went through the routine of making us think we'd won a prize and persuaded us to sit through an hour's presentation at the Crown Hotel. We accepted mainly because it provided us with transport to the city and back to the Kala Academy. Everyone was very friendly, even when we made it clear that we were not going to join up.

ABOUT RAJ BHAVAN IN GOA
With several rivers and rivulets and their bays, alongwith capes projecting into the sea, Goa has many strategic points which provide panoramic and rare views of the surrounding waters and landscape. Among these capes, the one on which the present residence of the Head of State of Goa is located, and, one which is popularly termed as Rajbhavan, earlier known as ‘Cabo’, the Portuguese word for cape, is the best known. It is at the confluence of the two main rivers of Goa, the Mandovi and the Zuari. There is no better panoramic view available in Goa than from this cape: the Indian Ocean towards the west, the bay of the river Mandovi and Fort Aguada on the north, and, on the south, the bay of the river Zuari and the busy port of Mormugao.

Visit to India - Part 35: Goa - Reis Magos Fort
Yes, this is part 35 - not 36 as the title claims!
13th August 2013
We were the only guests at Vivenda Rebelo. We had a detached two-room bungalow with a pleasant entry. Deric gave us lots of water because I was fasting due to an upset stomach.
He gave us some time to rest, and Yoong took the opportunity to wash some clothes. He provided a rack to help dry them. At about 3 pm he drove us through Panaji and across the river to the Reis Magos Fort, where he waited half an hour for us to look around. Bed and Breakfast places like this are so much better than hotels.
Deric dropped us at a restaurant, where Yoong had seafood rice, and I had nothing. He picked us up about half an hour later. On the way, he stopped at the cathedral and a big temple so we could see the night view of them all lit up.
