Reis Magos fort

  

I am feeling greatfull to write about my village Reis Magos. Reis Magos is a village located on the northern bank of the Mandovi river in Bardez Goa, opposite to the capital city of Goa. My village  is famous for two of Goa's famous structures; the Reis Magos Fort and the Reis Magos Church and   is considered as the first church in Bardez. And this fort has also become one of the famous tourist spot.                             

Reis Magos is the Portuguese word that stands for the Three Wise Men. I often go the fort with friends or with cousins as it is not far from my house.

Parking is available near the fort premises. To enter there is fee to visit the Fort i.e it charged a fee of Rs.50 each to to visit fort.Reis Magos seems to have a zig-zag journey to the entrance of the fort.                  

 Fortification of Reis magos fort with Mandovi river in the background. The fort is made of chire. But if we go to see the Reis Magos is comparatively smaller than Aguada Fort. But Reis Magos offers a majestic view of the Mandovi River, the Reis Magos church and the its beautiful Surroundings. At Reis magos there is houses sketches and paintings on how Goa used to look in the 16th century. As this gives us a lot of information  on Goa and its development by the Portuguese. There is lots of artwork ,map and other exhibits can be seen at the basement level .From the top of the fort its an one of the beautiful view to see...the place is admirable and this place is also good to do photography. Many schools, Higher secondary brings their students for field trip on this fort because it gives us lots of information of Goa. Hence it is my one of the favourite Fort to chill with my friends.
