Standing the test of time, Corjuem Fort is an inland fort that was built in 1705 by the Portuguese and is located in Aldona village near River Mapusa in Goa. It is also known as Khojuem Fort locally and is one of the smaller forts in Goa. However, being a relatively unexplored destination it has gained importance in recent times for the sweeping vistas that it offers. It is also among the only two forts to remain standing and relatively intact despite being surrounded by the Portuguese and Mughal rulers.
Legend has it that the fort has been the site of many battles and has protected the town of Corjuem from various invasions. In its current Avatar, however, it is beautiful even in its ruins and tells tales of an era gone by.
