Location: Sion (west - Mumbai)
Type: Land fort
It was built by the British Governor of Bombay Gerard Aungier atop a conical hillock. The fort was built between 1669 and 1677 (source : Wikipedia). To get to this fort one has to goto Sion (west) (near Sion Circle - Mumbai) cross Sion circle and go towards Dadar. Turn left after the first signal and ask for Jawaharlal Nehru Park (udyan). The way to the fort goes via this park. It is a small fort in dilapidated condition and nothing much to see on top. However the view of the surrounding areas gives an idea behind the strategy of building this fort.
