Anjanvel Fort, Military fort in Ratnagiri district, India
Anjanvel Fort extends across seven acres with rectangular walls measuring 12 feet high and 8 feet thick, surrounded by a dry moat.
King Shivaji captured the fort from Mohammed Adil Shah of Bijapur in 1660 and established a dockyard to control maritime activities at Dhabol creek.
The fort incorporates three distinct architectural sections called Varchakot, Parkot, and Balekot, reflecting the military engineering practices of medieval Maharashtra.
Visitors can reach the fort through a wide path starting from Anjanvel village, located 13 kilometers from Guhagar and 51 kilometers from Chiplun.
The fort contains a mango orchard within its walls and stands near an ancient temple of Uddalakeshwar, with a lighthouse positioned two kilometers away.
