The Vijaydurg Fort stands testimony to the naval prowess of the Maratha's. It is around 70 km away from Malvan city. The town is very close to the Vijaydurg fort so it gets its name from the fort. Vijaydurg town was earlier known as ‘Gheria’ cause it was surrounded on three sides by the sea. It was renamed Vijaydurg after it was conquered by Maratha King Shivaji in 1653 from Adilshah of Bijapur. Name Vijay stands for ‘victory’ making it the ‘fort of victory’. Shivaji developed the 17 acre fort as an important base which was used to harbor and repair Maratha warships.
It is the largest fort on the coast and stands mighty due to its fine architecture. The fortress was virtually impregnable because of the 40 km shallow creek which acted as a natural protection around the fort. The shallow creek made it impossible for massive enemy ships to approach the fort. Marks of cannon balls can still be seen on the fort walls.
The fort is constructed using laterite stones. A 10 m high compound wall, about 300 ft away from the fort deep in the sea, served as a defense against attacking ships. Ships collided with the wall and sank. The fort also has a 200 m long tunnel for emergency evacuation.
These features of the fort make it highly admirable. Many people visit Vijaydurg fort to watch out the histry behind it. This is one of the fort to visit in when you are in Malvan.
