Cabo de Rama Fort

About this place

Cabo de Rama Fort feels powerful and wild—perched on cliffs with sweeping views of the Arabian Sea and surrounding countryside. The visit is less about polished interiors and more about atmosphere: weathered walls, dramatic drops to the sea, and a strong sense of standing at an ancient lookout point. It’s perfect for travelers who love sea cliffs, quiet heritage, and places where history blends into the landscape rather than being displayed like a museum.

History & highlights

The fort has a long “changed hands” history, and Goa Tourism notes the Portuguese took control from the Raja of Soonda in 1763, staying in control for the rest of colonial rule. Other records describe its later Portuguese-era structures and how it shifted in function over time (including later use as a prison until the mid-20th century), showing how strategic forts were repeatedly repurposed as politics changed.
