14 km from the Ganpatipule, Jaigad fort is at the confluence point of the Arabian sea and river Shastri, besides the village Jaigad. Old British records called it Zygur. It has a strategic location to oversee trade routes from western seas through the Shastri River. A magnificent view of the Arabian seas and newly built powerplant catch the eye of the observer. Port Angrey & a lighthouse is near the fort. Though most structures and buildings in the fort are in ruins, fortification still stands tall against all odds. Jaigad fort was built by the Sultan of Bijapur in the 16th century & redeveloped by Kanhoji Angrey. Afterward, in the 18th century, it was captured by the British. The fort is considered one of the chief ports on the western Coast. The Jaigad fort is under the protection and care of the Archeological Survey of India
