Vijaygad Fort, Coastal fort in Ratnagiri district, India

The fort occupies one acre of land on the northern bank of the Shastri River, surrounded by protective ditches on three sides.

Records from 1862 reveal the fort's deteriorating condition, with only one remaining gun and no garrison or water supply available.

The fort exemplifies the military architectural traditions of Maharashtra, featuring fortification elements characteristic of coastal defense structures.

Visitors can reach the fort through a wide motorable road from the village of Tavsal, with exploration taking approximately 10 minutes.

The fort stands north of Jaigad Fort, creating a strategic defense network along the coastline of the Ratnagiri district.
