The place is named after Da. Paula Amaral Antonia de Souto-Maior, a historical figure in Portuguese India. She was related to the Portuguese Viceroy of Jaffnapatnam, in Sri Lanka. She and her family arrived in Goa in 1744 and she married a Fidalgo from Spain in 1756. Her father was D. Antonio Caetano de Menezes Souto-Maior. They were an extremely affluent family, and the entire property from the present day Cabo Raj Nivas all the way to Caranzalem belonged to the Souto Maior's. She died on 21 December 1782 . Dona Paula was a woman of charity and is known to have helped the villagers and worked a lot for their betterment, so after her death, the villagers decided to rename the village as Dona Paula. Initially the village was called Oddavell.
The place is closed as of 1st April 2019. It shall be nice if local government body takes appropriate steps so that tourism at this location can revive.
Decent place to climb up
The sunset here is beautiful. Mandovi and Zuari river fall here into the ocean. So you can see the three of them. Preferably visit during late afternoon and evening. The breeze is awesome. During monsoon even you can feel the waves crashing on you.
Great place but unfortunately closed for maintainance purpose for indefinite time.
To find a scenic view come here during sunny day
Once a great historical monument, now about to fall apart.
