Fort Aguada, Asia’s Oldest Lighthouse

Black and White photos, Photography, Traveling India

Fort Aguada is a fortress built by the Portuguese, located south of Candolim Beach in Goa. The fortress was constructed in the 17th century to protect Portuguese ships and defend the area against Dutch and Maratha attacks. The fortress’s lighthouse is one of the oldest in Asia, built in 1864. Today, the fortress is a popular tourist destination, and I visited in 2019

I have had some health issues that has kept me from being very active with my posts and well mostly with comments. I apologize. This was Sarah’s theme last week and I never got to edit my photos for it then, better late…

    4. I’m sorry to hear about your health problems but I’m very glad you were able to share these images for my theme. It really doesn’t matter that they’re a little later, they were worth the wait 🙂 Especially that first one, which is so moody and in such a beautifully tone!
