Ratnagiri Fort, Coastal fort in Ratnagiri district, India
The Ratnagiri Fort extends along the Arabian Sea with stone walls, watchtowers, and bastions designed for maritime defense and observation purposes.
The fort originated during the Bahmani period and became part of Maratha territory in 1670 when Shivaji defeated the forces of Adil Shah of Bijapur.
The Bhagawati Temple within the fort complex serves as a center for religious ceremonies and traditional gatherings of the local community.
Visitors can reach the fort through a wide road from Ratnagiri town, with guided tours taking approximately one hour to explore the entire complex.
A cave system beneath the fort structure connects to an underground water source, demonstrating advanced water management techniques of medieval Indian architecture.
