The ASI has submitted a Rs 1.6 crore restoration plan to the Centre after senior ASI officials certified that the stones at the foothill of the fort were crumbling. “The part of the fort facing sea is damaged. Also, some restoration work is required to be done at the top most portion of the fort,” ASI officials said. The moat area of the fort has seen pieces of stones falling down due to continuous contact with sea water. The fort, 10 kms away from here, houses a five-star hotel, a lighthouse and a jail at its foot. It was constructed in 1612 by the Portuguese to protect the territory from Dutch invasion.
