The old Central Jail at Aguada, Sinquerim | Agoda jail museum | Goa jail museum

Goa's state tourism board has taken up the job to develop this long-known tourist attraction into a well-defined spot for travellers.
Fort Aguada has always been one of the prime attractions of Goa. Indians still get reminded of the epic Dil Chahta Hai shot when they visit this place. Well, the movie is not the only reason to love it. The square shaped citadel at the hilltop offers one of the most stunning views of the Arabian Sea.
Right below the fort is the Aguada Central Jail, which has always caught the attention of tourists due to its interesting location overlooking the sea. Till sometime back, it used to be the largest prison in Goa. Enough time passed, and the state government realised the tourism potential of the place. The Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC) has now decided to convert the jail into a museum.

Nilesh Cabral, Chairman, GTDC, commenting on this plan: "The old Central Jail at Aguada, Sinquerim is very well known not only as a prison but for its history and heritage. Now a vacant structure, GTDC has requested the government to make it a tourist spot and the Corporation has started working on a project that will preserve the heritage structure and showcase Goa's freedom struggle and be a true tribute to the heroic deeds and glorious sacrifices of all those who took part in Goa's Liberation."
