Forts of Maharashtra can be classified broadly in two terms :
a) By Period : Pre Shivaji Era Forts & Forts built or fortified by Shivaji Maharaj.
b) By Physical Location : Land Forts, Hill Forts, Coastal or Sea Forts.
Sea forts are the gifts of visionary King Shivaji Maharaj. Noting that Sea is fast becoming the trade route with other countries. Shivaji Maharaj found that to survive and expand his nascent kingdom, he has to build his Navy and guard the coastal frontier. Thus came forts like Sindhudurg. Here we are going to place before our visitors information about Land, Hill & Sea Forts of Maharashtra. Some prominent some not so, but one this is for sure, each one of it has a history, a story to tell. One one must have that taste to understand.
