Shirgaon Fort, Coastal fort in Palghar district, India
The rectangular fort spans 200 feet in length and 150 feet in width, featuring four octagonal bastions at corners and one circular bastion at entrance.
Built in 1225 during Yadava dynasty rule, the fort changed hands between Gujarati rulers, Portuguese forces, Marathas, and British throughout its existence.
The fortress entrance displays a memorial pedestal dedicated to Shivaji Maharaj, marking the connection to Maharashtra's military heritage.
Visitors can reach the fort by taking a train to Palghar station, followed by a bus ride to Masjid stop and a ten-minute walk.
The fort walls contain numerous unexplored caves, while a five-foot cannon remains positioned on the northwest section of the citadel.
