The value of the Diu Fort India was highlighted by survey conducted (through the Internet and telephone when 239,418 people participated in Portugal) by the Portuguese (Portuguese government’s initiative) to list out the New Seven Wonders of Portugal built during their majestic rule. Diu Fort was constructed between 1535 and 1541 AD. The Fort has been creatively lit, which creates a mouthful of air taking views at night.
The Fort Diu and the basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa were chosen as the two wonders from India, among the seven from across the world, out of a list of 27 monuments built in 16 countries during the Portuguese rule.
Among the places of tourist interest, the Fort of Diu occupies a top position. Fort in Diu is an expansive and impressive structure, situated on the beach of the island. The fort plans an outstanding view of sea.
