Vishalgad, State Protected Monument in Kolhapur district, India.
Located between Amba Ghat and Anuskura Ghat, the fort stands at an elevation of 1130 meters on the border of the Sahyadri mountain range.
Built in 1716, the fort gained strategic importance during the Maratha Empire as a defensive structure monitoring trade routes between coastal ports and inland markets.
The fort complex includes temples and a significant shrine of Malik Rehan, where Hindu and Muslim devotees gather for spiritual activities throughout the year.
Visitors can access the fort through multiple routes from Kolhapur, with the main approach requiring a moderate trek through the mountainous terrain.
The fort played a crucial role in the escape of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj from Panhala Fort during the siege by Siddi Johar.
