Anjadip Island
Anjediva Island is an island in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Canacona in the South Goa district, Goa, India. Legally and constitutionally, it remains a part of Goa, although there is a widespread misconception that it is a part of the Karnataka state off whose coast it lies. It has an area of 1.5 square kilometres and currently without any resident population. It was part of the Portuguese Estado da India till 1961. The island is south of Goa, about 1.8 kilometres from the coast of the Indian state of Karnataka. On the island are located Angediva Fortress, built by the Portuguese, and the shrines of Our Lady of Brotas and São Francisco de Assis. The island is now connected to the mainland by a breakwater and is part of a large naval INS Kadamba base, based on the outskirts of Karwar city, on the coast of the border state of Karnataka and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Indian Navy.
