The Gandaulim Fort, also called the Gaudelupchar Fort was a military installation built on the eastern tip of the Ilhas de Goa. It is believed to date from the 16th-century. The fortress was allegedly built to defend the settlement of São Braz (Шаблон:Lit). It also housed a chapel dedicated to St. Blaise, which later was elevated into a church in 1563.
Demolition
By the advent of the 21st century, the only remaining evidence of the fort consisted of its entrance gate and a few rundown walls. The gate was demolished by the government authorities, as part of a road expansion project, to widen the approach road to the Gandaulim-Cumbarjua ferry.[1]
