Journey to Suvarnadurg Fort, one of the Twelve Forts inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the Maratha Military Landscapes of India!

Located off the Harnai coast in Ratnagiri district, Suvarnadurg—meaning “Golden Fort”—is a remarkable example of Maratha naval architecture and coastal defence.

This formidable sea fort served as a key naval base under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and later the Angres. Strategically positioned in the Arabian Sea, it played a crucial role in protecting the Konkan coastline, securing maritime trade routes, and countering foreign naval powers.

Explore how its massive laterite stone walls, bastions facing the open sea, concealed entrances, and freshwater cisterns transformed this island into an impregnable maritime stronghold.

Witness the legacy of Maratha naval supremacy, strategic brilliance, and architectural mastery at this legendary fort!
