Forts & Palace

Diu Fort is a historic monument located in the coastal town of Diu, which is a union territory of India. The fort is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Diu and is known for its impressive architecture and rich cultural heritage.

Diu Fort was built during the 16th century, a time when the Portuguese took control of the area. The fort was constructed as a strategic defence system to defend the city from invading forces, and it was an essential component of Portuguese defence for more than 400 years.

The fort, which has an area of around 38,000 square metres, is situated on the eastern side of Diu Island. On three sides, the Arabian Sea forms a spectacular background for the fort's imposing walls and bastions. In addition, the fort is home to a number of significant buildings, such as a jail, church, and lighthouse.

Diu Fort's architecture is a blend of Portuguese and Indian styles, and the fort's design reflects the cultural influences that shaped the region's history. The fort's walls are adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, and the interiors of the fort are equally impressive, featuring beautiful courtyards, fountains, and gardens.
