Jaigad Fort, Coastal fort in Ratnagiri district, India
The fortification stands on a peninsula at the meeting point of the Shastri River and Arabian Sea, featuring thick stone walls and defensive ramparts.
The Bijapur Kings constructed the fort in the 16th century, and in 1713 it was transferred to Kanhoji Angre by Balaji Vishwanath Peshwa.
The fort complex contains several temples from various periods, including a Ganpati temple that reflects the regional religious practices of Maharashtra.
The fort spans 13 acres and remains open to visitors, with intact outer walls, multiple bastions, and storage rooms available for exploration.
A deep moat surrounds the fort on all sides except where the structure meets the cliff edge, creating an effective defensive system.
