Located on the island of Diu, off the coast of Gujarat, this emblematic square bears witness to the region's rich Portuguese colonial past. At its centre, an imposing column catches the eye, a vestige of a time when Diu was a strategic maritime trading centre. Around it, buildings with colourful facades and wooden balconies are a reminder of the Portuguese architectural influence that still marks the island's identity. The square is a meeting place where locals and visitors come to stroll, enjoy the shade of the trees and observe the peaceful daily life of this former Portuguese enclave. With its unique blend of history and serenity, Diu Square is a must for anyone exploring this charming island with its colonial flavour.
