Worli Fort

This guide to Worli Fort in Mumbai starts with a soldier posted here in sixteen seventy five, watching Mahim Bay for raids by the feared Siddis of Janjira. It traces how the East India Company came to hold Bombay just fourteen years earlier, through a royal dowry from Portugal, and why the Company built three forts, this one included, to guard the bay. You'll hear about the well, cannon platforms and gate its engineers fitted within these walls. Stand at the ramparts and take in the same sweep of water those watchmen once scanned.
