Moti Daman fort was built by the Portuguese between 1559 and 1593 on the site of former Islamic citadel. It has an area of 30,000 sq metres and still has cannons on its walls. It has interesting polygonal layout.
There is a lighthouse inside the fort. A house of Bocage where the Portuguese poet Bocage lived is near the entrance of the fort. Inside the fort, there are three main churches, Church of Bom Jesus, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Church of Our Lady of Remedies outside. Church of Bom Jesus is the most famous of them all.
