The Panikotha Fort is a gigantic structure built in the shape of a ship on 56,736 sq m area, offshore on the Arabian sea. The rulers of Gujarat and Portuguese jointly made this structure to defend Diu against any possible Mughal invasion. Located about one nautical mile from Diu, it houses a small lighthouse and a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Sea. The fortress has ancient cells and cellars where the prisoners were locked. This ancient stone fort is now a major tourist destination as it provides an absolutely stunning view of the Arabian Sea.
