Kulaba Fort
Kulaba fort is one of the old military constructions in India. It is located in
the sea at a distance of approximately 2 km from the shores of Alibag, 35km
in the southern part of Mumbai and in the Konkan region of Maharashtra,
India. It is proved to be a famous tourist spot. It was chosen by Shivaji
to be constructed after the whole of South Konkan was commanded by
him. Shivaji strengthened and built the fort making it one of his chief
naval stations. The fort’s command was then handed over to Darya Sagar
and Manik Bhandari, under whom the fort became a centre of Maratha
attacks over British ships. The average wall height of the fort is 25feet.
One of the beautiful features of this fort is that it has two entrances,
one towards Alibag and the other facing the sea. Within the fort
premises, there are fresh water wells, although it is a seaside fort.
During monsoons, the fort can be reached by boats. A person named
Raghoji Angre built the Siddhivinayak temple inside the fort in 1759.
