To commemorate the 64th Goa Liberation Day, the Aguad Port and Jail Complex at Sinquerim is opening its doors to Goan residents with no entry charge, allowing them to celebrate the historic occasion by reconnecting with the state’s liberation legacy. Goans can avail free entry by furnishing any government-certified identification or proof of residence.
As a prominent cultural and historical landmark, the Aguad Port and Jail Complex offers a poignant glimpse into Goa’s past and its long struggle for freedom. Once a place where freedom fighters were incarcerated, the complex today stands as a powerful reminder of their sacrifices and resilience. Visitors can explore former jail cells that have been transformed into a digital interactive museum, dedicated to narrating the stories of Goa’s freedom movement and the lives of those who fought for liberation.
The museum presents immersive narratives, archival material, and visual storytelling that help visitors understand the journey towards Goa’s liberation. A dedicated memorial wall honours the countless freedom fighters whose names are etched as a lasting tribute to their courage and contribution. The initiative encourages Goans to rediscover their heritage, reflect on the sacrifices made, and celebrate the spirit of freedom on this significant day.
The free-entry initiative will be available on Thursday, December 19, 2025, from 10 am onwards at the Aguad Port and Jail Complex, Sinquerim.
