Introduction to Alorna Fort

Tucked away in the serene village of Alorna in North Goa, Alorna Fort stands as a testament to the region's rich and tumultuous history. Perched on the banks of the tranquil Chapora River, this 17th-century stronghold, built by the Bhonsles of Sawantwadi, exudes a unique charm that sets it apart from its more famous counterparts. The fort's thick laterite stone walls, bastions, and watchtowers, though weathered by time, still evoke a sense of grandeur and resilience. As you approach, the rustle of palm trees and the gentle flow of the river create an inviting ambiance. From its strategic vantage point, visitors can soak in breathtaking views of the Goan countryside, making Alorna Fort a hidden gem that offers a tranquil retreat and a glimpse into Goa's intricate past.
