Considered to be one of the oldest forts in Goa, Cabo de Rama was once under the Hindu rulers of the land. But later, the fort was passed on to the Mughal rulers and finally, it came under the dominion of the Portuguese. Unsurprisingly, there are quite a few legends associated with this place, each telling us a story about its rich cultural past. One legend says that the fort and the cape have been named to honor Lord Rama from the Hindu epic Ramayana. According to the legend, Lord Rama stayed at this place with his wife Sita during their long period of exile from Ayodhya. In more recent times (till 1955), the fort served as a prison before it was abandoned. Today, it features houses the Church of Santo Antonio, which is in a fine condition. At any day, you can find quite a few devotees praying at this church, though you are more likely to come across tourists who flock to it for its tranquil environment and the magical views it offers.

Cabo de Rama derives its name from Lord Rama. Legends says that he and his wife Sita took refuge at this fort when they were exiled for 14 years. This fort withstood gruesome battles between Portuguese, Marathas, Muslim Invaders, Hindu Kings and was also used as a prison by the British.

Located 26kms from Casa Sara, Cabo De Rama is an ancient fort & a popular tourist attraction in South Goa. The famous Aamin Khan & Farhan Akthar film “Dil Chahta hai” was shot here. In the 1760s, the Portuguese gained control of this fort & used it as an outpost. Inside Cabo de Rama is the Capela de Santo António, a chapel still in use by the locals.
