| Bassein Fort also known, as Vasai Fort is an important sea fort located in Vasai. Located about 50 km from Mumbai, this fort was built by Bahadur Shah, Sultan of Gujarat, which was initially one of a chain of forts intended to guard the coast against the Portuguese and the pirates. The fort was further developed into a state of the art fort by the Portuguese, conquered by the Marathas and finally neglected by the British before independence. |
