Description:
The fort, built by the Portuguese although stands in ruins today, tell the tale of the Portuguese rule over this small sleepy town. The ramparts overlook Vasai creek and are almost complete, though overgrown. Several watch-towers still stand, with safe staircases leading up. The Portuguese buildings inside the fort are in ruins, although some have well-preserved facades. Many arches still stand, decorated with carved stones. Three chapels inside the fort are still recognizable. They have facades typical of 17th century Portuguese churches. The southernmost of these has a well preserved barrel vaulted ceiling.
