Gingee Fort: UNESCO World Heritage Site
Journey to Gingee Fort, one of the Twelve Forts inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the Maratha Military Landscapes of India!
Located in Villupuram district, Tamil Nadu, Gingee—often called the “Troy of the East”—is one of the most formidable hill forts in India and represents the southern extent of Maratha military expansion.
Unlike coastal forts, Gingee is a complex of three massive hill fortifications—Rajagiri, Krishnagiri, and Chandrayandurg—linked by defensive walls across rugged terrain. Captured and strengthened by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the fort became a crucial strategic outpost for controlling inland trade routes and asserting Maratha power in the south.
Explore how steep rocky hills, massive ramparts, granaries, water management systems, and layered defenses transformed Gingee into an almost impregnable stronghold.
Witness the strategic depth, military foresight, and architectural ingenuity that made Gingee a legend in Indian fortification history!
Key Highlights:
• UNESCO World Heritage Site (One of the Twelve Forts)
• Known as the “Troy of the East”
• Major inland hill fort strengthened under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
