The fort itself is not in very good condition & hardly maintains its original look, but the views it offers are spectacular. And It does give you a feel of a different time in the past.

You need sneakers or sports shoes to explore the place don't think of sandals due to slopes, climbs, and passes around.

Please explore the edges, and huge wall walkways their eyewitness to the sea and sea breeze, in fact, it appears to be an island, and the sea in the background looks magnificent. You can lighthouse and an array of cannons on wall edges. Down at the corner, the washroom is provided, okay kind. At the main gate, you enjoy drinking beverages. There were no entry charges. Historical significance place hence you will see a marble placard with history engraved.

The fort, situated along the coast, is an important attraction in Diu. It is a place of historical importance, and showcases how the fort was used as an ammunition depot in the past. It doesn't require any entrance fee or tickets to visit the fort.
The fort has a light house on its top, and few weapons from historic period in its premises. St. Paul's Church and Museum are located near this fort.
It is nearer to the bus stand, and can be reached easily either by walk or by local means of transportation.
After reaching the highest point in the fort, you can see entire Diu city and the coastline.
However, do carry your eatables and water bottles while visiting this place. Since there are no eateries available inside the fort premises, and some food stalls can be found besides it's entry gate.

This is the old lighthouse which where used for the direction guidance for ships passing nearby fort..
Very well maintain...
Must visit

Nice Historic place. There is some Sitting arrangement to spend some quality time. There is beautiful view of city from Light House

The light house made here seems to be the modern one.
the old one is a little further from here and it's now out of use probably.
you can spend some time here and see the seaside from some height.
although this is a functional structure and not made for tourist purpose. some seating structures would have been welcome
