 Though far inferior in size to the fortress of Mormugao, yet standing on an eminence, it commands a splendid view all around.It is in a good state of preservation and is defended by 33 guns and accommodation for a small garrison.Towards the east, at a little distance from it, flows a spring with abundance of excellent water, while at its base rises the church of the Reis Magos, ascended by a beautiful flight of stairs.
