a month agoVasai Fort is a beautiful historical site near Vasai Road, rich with heritage and old Portuguese architecture. The place has a calm atmosphere and offers great spots for photography. However, maintenance could be better some areas are littered and not properly managed. Still, worth visiting for history lovers and weekend explorers.

in the last weekVasai Fort's history began in the 15th century as a strategic hub for the Sultan of Gujarat, but it is most famously associated with the Portuguese who conquered and rebuilt it in the 1530s, making it their main naval base in Western India for over two centuries. It was eventually captured by the Marathas under Chimaji Appa in 1739. The fort is ruined and mostly full of couples doing photoshoot the fort is protected by Archeological survey of India the authority should maintain cleanliness .
