Introduction to Tiracol fort
Perched on a hillock at the mouth of the Terekhol River in North Goa, Fort Tiracol stands as a testament to the region's rich and tumultuous history. This 17th-century fort, with its commanding view of the Arabian Sea, is a blend of strategic military architecture and breathtaking natural beauty. Originally built by Raja Khem Sawant Bhonsle of Sawantwadi, the fort was later captured by the Portuguese in 1746 and transformed into a pivotal maritime defense. Today, it serves as a luxurious heritage hotel, offering guests the chance to wake up to the sound of waves crashing against the shore and to explore the well-preserved structures, including the century-old Church of St. Anthony. As you stand atop its walls, the salty sea air and the panoramic views evoke a sense of being at the edge of the world, where history and nature converge in a stunning display.
