Dronagiri Fort, Portuguese colonial fort in Raigad district, India
The fortification sits on a hilltop near Uran town, featuring stone walls, guard rooms, water tanks, and a Portuguese church structure at its summit.
The Portuguese repaired the fort in 1530, and Father Antonio-de-Porto constructed three churches in 1535, before Manaji Angre captured it in 1739.
The fort exhibits a mix of Portuguese and Indian architectural elements, including the Nossa Senhora da Penha church and a Ganpati carving in the guard rooms.
Visitors can reach the fort by taking a narrow road from Uran Bus stand to Daur Nagar, followed by a gradual climb through a forest of Mexican Lilac trees.
The Central Industrial Security Force maintains a presence at the fort due to its proximity to ONGC facilities, requiring specific permissions for exploration.
