Shaniwar Wada, Historic fortification in Shaniwar Peth, Pune, India.
The fortress complex spans multiple levels with stone walls, featuring five entrance gates including the prominent northern Delhi Darwaza gate.
Construction started in 1732 under Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath as the administrative headquarters of the Maratha Empire until 1818.
The architecture combines military fortification elements with residential features, reflecting the power and sophistication of the Peshwa administration.
Visitors can explore the remaining granite ramparts, foundations, and gates daily, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
A fire in 1828 burned for seven days, destroying most structures except the massive stone fortification walls that stand today.
