This is all that stands today, called the Viceroy Arch. This was the restored in 1954.
The Arch was built as a memorial for the achievements done by Vasco da Gama. The Arch I believe was built then as it looks authentic but the walls were restored later. Bricks (chire) was used in its restoration on the wall around the Arch.
If you check the Arch closely it has the statue of Vasco da Gama on the River side (Mandovi River) and that of the Argonaut on the side of St. Cajetan Church. As per the inscription next to the Arch.
