Gopalgad

Location

The sprawling 16th century Gopalgad fort, near the coastal village of Anjamvel, is about 10 km from Guhagar. Originally built by the Siddis, it was seized by Emperor Shivaji in 1660. The fort is mostly in ruins now. The view of the sea is breathtaking from the top of the cliffs where the fort is built. Some of the walls of the fort go right down to the sea. There is a lighthouse at the end of the stretch along with two temples.
