Introduction to Nanuz Fort

Perched on a hill in the picturesque village of Nanuz, approximately 16 kilometers from Panaji, the capital of Goa, lies the historic Nanuz Fort, a testament to the region's rich and complex past. This 17th-century fortification, also known as Fortaleza de São Jerónimo de Vilhena, stands as a sentinel overlooking the Mandovi River, its laterite stone and lime mortar walls bearing the scars of time and the whispers of history. As you climb the small hillock to reach the fort, the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside unfold like a canvas of green and gold, with the distant hum of the river and the rustle of leaves in the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary creating a symphony of sounds. Here, amidst the ruins, you can almost feel the weight of Portuguese military architecture and the strategic brilliance that once protected this pivotal trade route. Today, Nanuz Fort is a blend of historical significance, ecological beauty, and a glimpse into a bygone era, waiting to be explored and cherished.

The trip up this hill is worth it for the magnificent church and views from the top. Although we did it on an E bike tour from our hotel.
