Fort Aguada is a well-preserved 17th-century Portuguese fort located in Goa, India. Built in 1612 to guard against the Dutch and the Marathas, the fort stands on the Sinquerim Beach overlooking the Arabian Sea. It was a crucial point of defense and also served as a replenishing stop for ships with its freshwater spring, which is how it got its name (Aguada means "water" in Portuguese). The fort complex includes a lighthouse erected in 1864, which is one of the oldest of its kind in Asia.
