Mahim Fort, 16th century fortress in Mahim district, India.
The stone fort stands at a strategic position in Mahim Bay, with views extending towards Worli, Bandra, and central Mumbai districts.
Portuguese forces gained control of the fort in 1534 after defeating Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, establishing their dominance over the Mahim territory.
The fort represents the military architecture of medieval Maharashtra, combining Portuguese and local construction techniques in its defensive structures.
The municipal corporation of Mumbai initiated a complete renovation project in 2022, relocating 250 families to preserve the historical structure.
The fort contained thirty cannons and housed one hundred soldiers during its military peak, defending the northern approach to Mumbai harbor.
