Murud Janjira Fort, Raigad

The sleepy fishing hamlet of Murud is home to the magnificent island fortress of Janjira, standing about 500 m offshore. It is one of the strongest marine forts in India, and remained undefeated during the course of history, despite repeated attacks. When seen during the high tide, its 12 metre-high walls seem to rise straight out of the sea.
