In the plain of Chaul outside the fort is a Capuchin convent and church of the Virgin, with a watch-tower in one corner of the enclosure. It was held by a small force of Portuguese and Indian soldiers for more than five months, though several times attacked by the Marathas, who would have entirely commanded the interior of the fort if they could have gained possession of the tower.
