Travel Diaries Presents,
Fort Tiracol / Terekhol Fort, Goa

Located on the Tiracol River, and one needs to take a ferry in order to reach the fort.

This was once a fort, but today the fort has been converted into a exclusive hotel named fort tiracol heritage hotel.
This ancient and imposing fort on the river Tiracol is perhaps the best preserved and most visited fort in Goa.

The fort also commands spectacular views over the confluence of the river and sea waters.

The fort was originally built by the Maharaja of Sawantwadi, Khem Sawant Bhonsle. However, it was wrested from him by the Portuguese invaders in 1746. 

This fort was finally ceded to India by the Portuguese in 1961.

When the Portuguese took it over, the earliest accounts say that the fort was equipped with 12 guns, a barrack and a chapel.

The church within the walls of the hotel that has been constructed in the fort, was originally dedicated to the Holy Trinity but later became the church of St. Anthony. Masses are said most Sundays and especially on the feast of St. Anthony, which is celebrated in the month of May.
