Corjuem Fort in Goa, India

Corjuem Fort, built in 1705 by Portuguese colonists, was abandoned in 1894 but never demolished. It is now a protected historical site in Goa, India, and during the right time of year, Corjuem can look like it's being eaten by the forest.

While Britain is heavily associated with colonial control of India, Portugal had its own foothold in what is now the state of Goa, on the southwestern coast of India. The colony of Portuguese India held for more than 400 years before the Portuguese relinquished the territory in 1961. Sites such as Corjuem Fort show how much the colonial influence affected not just the culture, but the landscape itself.

印度果阿的Corjuem堡垒

1705年由葡萄牙殖民者建造的Corjuem堡垒于1894年被废弃，但从未被拆除。它现在是印度果阿的一处受保护的历史遗址，在一年中的适当时候，Corjuem看起来像是被森林吃掉了。

虽然英国在很大程度上与印度的殖民控制有关，但葡萄牙在印度西南海岸的果阿州有自己的立足点。葡萄牙-印度殖民地在1961年葡萄牙人放弃这片领土之前，已经统治了400多年。像Corjuem堡垒这样的遗址表明，殖民地的影响不仅影响了文化，还影响了景观本身。
