Murud Janjira Fort is a magnificent historical structure located in the coastal town of Murud in Maharashtra, India. The fort is situated on an island just off the coast and is accessible only by boat. The fort was built in the 17th century by the Siddis, who were African-origin Muslim rulers of the region. The fort was strategically built to protect the town from invaders and was considered impregnable due to its location and design.
The fort is surrounded by the Arabian Sea on all sides and has a unique architecture that blends Indian and Islamic styles. The fort has 19 bastions, each of which has a cannon, and a towering main gate that is adorned with intricate carvings. The fort also has a freshwater well, which was the only source of water for the inhabitants of the fort.
Inside the fort, there are several buildings, including a palace, a mosque, and a few residential quarters. The palace is the most impressive structure inside the fort and has several rooms that were used by the rulers. The mosque is a small but beautiful structure that has intricate carvings and is still used for prayers by the locals.
The fort has a rich history and has been witness to several battles and invasions. Despite being attacked by the British, the fort remained unconquered and was eventually abandoned in the 19th century. Today, the fort is a popular tourist attraction and is visited by thousands of people every year. Visitors can take a boat ride to the fort and explore the various structures inside. The fort also offers stunning views of the Arabian Sea and the surrounding landscape, making it a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Murud.
