Gaspar Dias Fort
Gaspar Dias Fort, built in 1598 during the governorship of Viceroy Dom Francisco da Gama, was a Portuguese fort located near Miramar Beach in North Goa, named after the wealthy Portuguese landlord Gaspar Dias. The fort was constructed as part of a defense system to protect the city of Goa from Dutch invasions.
Though the fort played a key defensive role for several years, it was damaged by fire during a civil war in 1835 and eventually fell into ruin. It was later converted into a sanatorium for recovering soldiers but has since crumbled and disappeared, with only a cannon at Miramar Circle serving as a visible remnant.
The area once occupied by the fort is now largely developed, and the memory of Gaspar Dias Fort lives on primarily through this cannon and historical records.
