Dativare Fort, Military fort in Palghar district, India.
The defensive structure stands 300 feet high on a hillock next to the Vaitarna River, extending toward the neighboring Arnala Fort.
The Portuguese controlled this strategic fort from 1548 to 1699, followed by East India Company rule from 1755 until British Raj administration ended in 1947.
The fortification represents traditional Indian military architecture, with remaining walls and bastions reflecting the defensive techniques used in Maharashtra's coastal regions.
Visitors can reach the fort through a thirty-minute trek starting from the base village of Dativare, located 15 kilometers from Saphale railway station.
The fort maintains its position as a guard point over the trade route along the Vaitarna River, with remnants of stone fortifications visible across the hilltop.
