Chapora fort
the fort was built in 1717. Many rulers have held this fort for varied periods of time but the main enmity was seen between Marathas and Portuguese to gain control over it. And although it was built to serve as a place of strategic importance for defense purposes, the fort fell very quickly in the test of military prowess. When we see around today, there are very less signs of the barracks and houses which were there in significant number once inside the fort.
The Chapora fort sits in a prominent position that commands views in all directions. It also has steep slopes on all sides. The fort follows the outline of the higher slopes. This forms an irregular outer wall that uses the natural form to add defensive height to the fortifications. This offers an advantage over dry ditches being a good fortress to defend the province
