This bastion of the Portuguese in Kochi was a symbol of the strategic alliance
between the Maharajah of Kochi and the Monarch of Portugal, after whom it was
named. Built in 1503, the fort was reinforced in 1538. By 1806 the Dutch, and
later the British, had destroyed most of the fort walls and its bastions. Today,
remains of this once imposing structure can be seen along the beach
