Built by the Portuguese in 1551, the Reis Magos Fort stands on the banks of the Mandovi River, originally designed to guard the Mandovi estuary. The fort underwent reconstruction in 1707 and, after being abandoned for much of the 19th and 20th centuries, served as a prison. Today, it has been restored and transformed into a tourist attraction. Visitors can explore its historic walls and enjoy panoramic views of the river and surrounding landscape.
