Chapora Fort

Chapora Fort (Konkani pronunciation: [ʃɑːpoːɾɑː], Devanagari: शापोरा), located in Bardez, Goa, rises high above the Chapora River. The site is the location of a fort built by Adil Shahi dynasty ruler Adil Shah and called Shahpoora, whose name was altered to Shapora (chapora) by Malvankar on the request of the Portuguese. Malvankars were naval army of Shivaji, who remained in the surrounding villages. It is now a popular tourist spot and offers a view north across the Chapora River to Morjim.
