Sanam and I visited the out-of-bounds Reismagos fort last Saturday with Yogesh, who is now doing a renovation project inside the fort. This fort was built by the Portuguese when they first landed in Goa more than 4 centuries back. It served as a jail for quite some time, before it was decommissioned. The government tied with converting it into a heritage hotel, before the plan was dropped. It is now being developed as a heritage and arts complex.
Campal corner with the Mandovi flowing out to the Arabian sea. Check the twin Mandovi bridges in the background, and the new 3-storey casino anchored off the shore.
