Travel back in time at this ancient fort in Goa

Hey, there! We are back with another refreshing episode of our series Goa in a Minute where we give you a quick one-minute tour of some of the most iconic places in Goa.

In this episode, join us as we explore a timeless ancient fort of Goa — Fort Tiracol, located in Keri, North Goa. Let's discover everything this place has in store for visitors.

This historic fort is situated along the River Tiracol, offering stunning glimpses of the vast Arabian Sea. Originally built in the 17th century, the fort was recently transformed into a heritage hotel, allowing visitors a chance to take a step back in time.

The fort stay offers the perfect opportunity to peek into the State's colonial past and admire the architectural beauty of the olden days.

The ancient walls of the fort still stand tall and strong, having once served as protection against invaders. Today, the same walls tell stories of Goa's past, making one realise the rich history of this land.

Travellers seeking serenity, tranquillity and breathtaking viewpoints, should certainly make their way to Goa's extreme north and enjoy this beauty.

As you walk around the fort, you will come across the charming St Anthony's Church — where services are still held occasionally — a beautiful structure that will leave you awe-struck.

To completely soak in the coastal spark of this region, enjoy sightseeing with panoramic views of the Arabian Sea, and the gentle breeze — a peaceful escape that offers a mix of heritage, culture and scenic beauty.

So, if you are looking for a place to stay which beautifully encapsulates part of Goa's history and offers a peaceful retreat, head to Tiracol Fort. The fort also houses a restaurant that serves authentic Goan-Portuguese cuisine.
