A haven for photographers, historians and people who just like to spend some time away from the hustle bustle of the city; Bandra Fort is the perfect getaway. There is a lot of history related to it and the remains of the fort make it quite a hit amongst the young couples of the city who are often sent off from here as the cops keep taking rounds here. The kids love to clamber up the steps of the Fort gardens and play hide-and-seek, while others look at the calm blue-grey water swishing up the rocky banks. Visitors can walk down the base of the fort to see the open sea. Located in one of the most sought after areas of the city, Bandra Fort offers a lovely vicinity and lot of history too! Also known as Castella de Aguada, this was originally a Portuguese fort and was majorly under the hold of the British during their ruling era. They also demolished a part of the fort, so that the Marathas could not capture it!
