Worli Fort, British fort in Worli, Mumbai, India
The fort stands atop Worli Hill with thick stone walls, multiple bastions, and fortified gates overlooking the expansive Mahim Bay and Arabian Sea.
The British constructed this strategic military structure in 1675 to monitor maritime activities and protect against pirate attacks along the western coastline.
The local fishing community maintains the fort grounds, where many residents gather for morning exercises and traditional festivities throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the fort by climbing small steps through narrow paths, with the site remaining open for exploration throughout all seasons.
The fort contains an ancient well, a Hanuman temple, and exercise equipment, creating an unexpected combination of historical architecture and modern community use.
