Gopalgad Anjanwel
Guhagar
Fort, Heritage
Description
This fort offers a deep blue sea on all sides and breezy air. Anjavel is a sea fort with two entrance doors. One door to the east while the other to the west. The scenic beauty is beyond comparison to any. Strategically built cabins at the entrance of the fort are symbols of expertise in warfare. There is a Mango grove (Amrai) in the fort. A dilapidated structure of the palace can be seen with scattered remnants. Walls are present without the roof. An arch above the room is an architectural wonder with special craftsmanship and skill.

Many rulers have ruled this strong outlying Fort. This fort was in the hands of Adilshah and was won by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1660. Then it went under the rule of Yakutkhan. Tulaji Aangre won this from him and renamed it Gopalgad in 1755. In 1756, it came under the rule of Peshwas. Apart from its historical importance, it is primarily known for its strategic location.
