Madh Fort, Portuguese fort in Madh Island, Mumbai, India.
The stone fortress stands on the northern edge of Mumbai, overlooking the Arabian Sea and Malad Creek from its elevated position.
Portuguese forces constructed this military fortification during the 17th century to serve as a watchtower before the Maratha Empire captured it in 1739.
The surrounding area is home to fishing communities, including Koli people, Marathi speakers, East Indians, and Roman Catholics who maintain their traditions.
Access to the fort requires special permission from the Indian Air Force, which maintains control of the structure due to its strategic location.
The external walls of the fort remain intact while the interior sections show deterioration from centuries of exposure to maritime conditions.
