VASAI FORT AND KOLIWADA PHOTO WALK 25-06-23

VASAI FORT AND KOLIWADA PHOTO WALK

Vasai Fort (also known as Bassein Fort) was built by Gujarat King Bahadur Shah. However, soon it was to become the apple of the Portuguese’ eyes as they took control over the fort in order to expand their naval power.

Vasai became famous in the 16th century because of the Portuguese. The fort of Vasai was an important commercial and military base of the Portuguese on the west coast of India. The fort is surrounded by seawater and spread over a total area of 110 acres.

They also built strong ramparts and other structures inside the Vasai Fort. It was later taken over by the Marathas. However, the British ultimately managed to procure the Vasai Fort from the Marathas in 1817 A.D.

Vasai Fort is known for its robust structure. Its stonewall is 4.5 km long and has 11 bastions. Another feature of the fort, which attracts visitors outright, is a small citadel inside the Vasai Fort. Vasai Fort has several water tanks, armory, and storehouses. There are three chapels inside the fort, which have structures like Portuguese churches. (Source: Vasai Fort)
