Revdanda Fort, Portuguese coastal fort in Raigad district, India

The stone fortress stands at the mouth of the Kundalika River with outer walls facing the Arabian Sea on three sides.

Portuguese Captain Soj constructed this defensive structure in 1524, which remained under Portuguese control until the Marathas captured it in 1806.

The fort represents the Portuguese military architecture of the 16th century, with its strategic position reflecting colonial expansion in India.

Visitors can reach the fort using the Alibag-Murud road, with the main entrance located on the southern side of the complex.

The fort's position on an island at the river mouth created a natural defense system, enhanced by water channels on three sides.
