	The castle was built of local blue Kurla stone and red [[laterite]] stone from the [[Konkan]] region to the south. The islands came under the hands of the English in 1665, and the [[East India Company]] took possession of the castle in 1668. Over the next ten years, they built a defensive structure around the manor. Between 1716 and 1723, a wall was built around the developing town. Although the wall was demolished in 1865 after the city grew rapidly, fragments still exist in some areas.

	Few records of the original Portuguese castle remain and historians are trying to piece together the original location of the manor. Two gates of the manor are located within ''INS Angre'', a [[Indian Navy\|naval]] station in [[South Mumbai]]. A [[sundial]] thought to date back to the Portuguese era is also present. This sundial does not mark out the 12 hours of a day, but rather marks out certain periods that the people of the time deemed important.
