The Mahim Fort (Marathi: माहीम किल्ला) is a fort in Mahim in Mumbai, Maharashtra state, India.[2] Strategically located in the Mahim Bay, the fort overlooks Worli to the south, Bandra to the north, and Mahim to the east. The origins of the fort are unclear, but it occupies a strategic location that has been frequently contested. The fort is currently in disrepair, suffering from administrative neglect, encroachment of slums, and exposure to tidal erosion.
History
In 1516, Portuguese commander Dom Joao de Monoy entered the Mahim Creek and defeated the commander of Mahim fort.[3]The fort was the site of frequent skirmishes between the Portuguese and the Ali Shah, a Gujarati ruler, before the island of Mahim was appropriated from Bahadur Shah of Gujarat by the Portuguese in 1534. In 1661, the Portuguese ceded the island of Mahim as dowry to Charles II of England. After the English gained control of the fort, it was strengthened by Sir Thomas Grantham in 1684,[2] and became a strategic watchtower against possible Portuguese attacks, and later from the Marathas.[2]
In 1772, the Portuguese attempted to attack this fort, but they were repelled by the Britishwith cannonballs.[2] The Mount Mary's Basilica was damaged during this encounter. According to historical accounts, the fort had 100 soldiers and 30 cannons at that time.[2]
The fort was captured by the British during the First Anglo-Maratha War.[4]

Mahim Fort & Shirgaon Fort - Mumbai Cycling Adventures | Part - 3
Mahim fort is in quite neglected state and overgrown with vegetation.
The ramparts are all still intact. There is a pair of stairways that branch out from the center and led up to the ramparts.
According to Gazetteer of Bombay Presidency
As per survey in 1818, the western face of the fort was washed by the sea, or rather the Mahim creek.
The fort was so surrounded by the villages and trees that enemy force could approach it unnoticed . So of later date than the fort, but of the same height an hexagonal battery with ten guns was added to the fort.
As per survey in 1862 it was in good condition and strongly fortified, the strongest fort south of Daman except Arnala.
As per survey in 1881 it was one of the Collector's district bungalows.
We can see the coast from the rampart of the fort, so as the gazetteer mentions the fort must be close to the Mahim creek.
And the hexagonal battery does enforce the idea that this fort was of Military significance.
Then it was about time for us to move to the next fort on our list Sirgaon Fort.
On reaching the fort , we found a heap of rock laying in front of the main entrance. It seems like there were some restoration going on this but we didn’t find any workers.
After checking with few locals we got to know that there were restoration going on before monsoon which has stopped due to rain and the workers were yet to return.
The fort was in very neglected state and there was vegetation everywhere.
History about the fort is that this was constructed by Portuguese rulers to guard the region from enemies approaching from Arabian Sea.
In 1739 Marathas won this fort along with the forts of Dahanu, Kelve and Tarapur.
Afterwards in 1818 Britishers captured it like the other forts
The Fort is rectangular in shape.
There are total five bastions. The four bastions at the four corners 3 of them are octagonal in shape and one is triangle may be because it was facing the Sea while the fifth one at the entrance gate is circular.
This fort was much larger other than other three fort we visited earlier today.

Bandra Fort | Mumbai | India | Indian Vlogger

Castella de Aguada (Portuguese: Fort of the Waterpoint), also known as the Bandra Fort, is a fort located in Bandra, Mumbai. Castella is a misspelling for Portuguese Castelo (castle). Properly, it should be called Castelo da Aguada, although it seems its Portuguese builders actually called it Forte de Bandorá (or Bandra Fort). It is located at Land's End in Bandra. It was built by the Portuguese in 1640 as a watchtower overlooking Mahim Bay, the Arabian Sea and the southern island of Mahim.[1] The strategic value of the fort was enhanced in 1661 after the Portuguese ceded the seven islands of Bombay that lay to the immediate south of Bandra to the English. The name indicates its origin as a place where fresh water was available in the form of a fountain (Aguada) for Portuguese ships cruising the coasts in the initial period of Portuguese presence. The fort lies over several levels, from sea level to an altitude of 24 metres (79 ft).Castella de Aguada has been featured in several Hindi films, such as Dil Chahta Hai and Buddha Mil Gaya.
Mahim Fort ( माहीमचा किल्ला )
माहीमचा किल्ला हा माहीम, मुंबई, येथे माहीमच्या खाडीजवळ आहे. ह्या किल्ल्याच्या दक्षिणेला वरळी असून उत्तरेला वांद्रे आहे. हा किल्ला सध्या सभोवतालच्या झोपडपट्यांमुळे व सततच्या अतिक्रमणामु़ळे सुस्थितीत नाही, दुर्लक्षिल्यामुळेही वास्तूची स्थिती दयनीय झाली आहे.
इतिहास
इ.स. १५१६ मध्ये पोर्तुगीज अधिकारी दॉम होआव दे मोनो याने माहीमच्या खाडीत प्रवेश केला आणि माहीमचा किल्ला जिंकून घेतला. या किल्ल्याच्या ताब्यासाठी गुजरातच्या अली शाह आणि पोर्तुगीजांमध्ये खूप चकमकी झाल्या. शेवटी पोर्तुगीजांनी हा किल्ला इ.स. १५३४ मध्ये जिंकून घेतला. हाच किल्ला पुढे इ.स. १६६१ मध्ये पोर्तुगीजानी राजकन्येच्या लग्नात हुंडा म्हणून इंग्लंडच्या दुसऱ्या चार्ल्सला दिला.[ संदर्भ हवा ] हा किल्ला ताब्यात असणे ब्रिटिशांच्या दृष्टीने महत्त्वाचे होते, कारण हाच किल्ला त्यांना पोर्तुगीजांच्या आणि नंतर मराठ्यांच्या आक्रमणापासून संरक्षण देऊ शकत होता

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
