Nivati fort, Coastal fort in Sindhudurg district, India
The fort covers 4 acres on a small hill near Nivati village, featuring robust gates and bastions protected by a 20-foot-wide moat.
Built in 1664 by Shivaji Maharaj, the fort changed ownership multiple times between Sawants, Portuguese forces, and British military until 1818.
The fort structure incorporates red laterite stone construction methods that represent traditional building practices of the Konkan region.
Visitors can reach the fort through bus services from Malwan and Kudal, with the exploration of the premises taking approximately one hour.
The fortification includes strategic observation points that provided control over both Karli creek and Vengurla port maritime activities.
