History:Built by the Maharaja of Sawantwad and thereafter revamped by the Portuguese in the 17th century, Fort Tiracol (also known as Terekhol Fort) is a symbol of hope for all Goans; it gives silent testimony to the hard won freedom that Goa enjoys today. The fort offers awe-inspiring views over the confluence of the river and sea waters as well as a bird’s eye view of the Querem and Kalacha beach. During its occupation, as per Portuguese customs, a church was built within the walls of the fort. Originally dedicated to the Holy Trinity, now a church of St. Anthony, the church still holds Sunday mass till this very day.
