Fort, now in ruins, was under the Portuguese
a thriving fortified city from 1534
to 1739 when it was sacked by the Marathas.
The ruins of the Portuguese Fort still
stand almost hidden by brushwood and
palm groves. Some of the walls and churches
can still be seen. To the north, is
the Agar of Agashi and to the south
is the Agar of Bassein. An hour by bus
