The Fort, originated as an armed outpost of the [[Yusuf Adil Shah|Adil Shah]] of [[Adil Shahi dynasty|Bijapur]] in 1493. When [[Bardez]] was conquered by the Portuguese in 1541, the Fort was built along with the church. From 1900, it lost its defensive role and was used as a jail and was finally abandoned in 1993 after which it was at the mercy of the elements, and had begun to crumble. Restoration work on the fort began in 2008 with the funds being provided by the UK-based Helen Hamlyn Trust, [[INTACH]] - a non-governmental organisation dealing with restorations of monuments, and the [[Government of Goa]]. Renowned architect [[Gerard da Cunha]] was hired to restore the fort.<ref>http://www.tehelka.com/the-visionary-reformer-gerard-da-cunha/</ref> The fort is now converted into a cultural centre, besides being used a tourist attraction. | The Fort, originated as an armed outpost of the [[Yusuf Adil Shah|Adil Shah]] of [[Adil Shahi dynasty|Bijapur]] in 1493.
