This fort is very close to the Mumbai coast. Since the Portuguese used to enter India through the sea, they invaded this fort after the Marathas.
The Takmak fort was held by many rulers. The Marathas and the Portuguese were fighting for almost two centuries until the British took over this fort during the 18th century. They used this fort as a prison. The fort has seen a history for more than 400 years of a tussle to control.
