It was built by the Portuguese, occupied by the Maratha Empire, and became the East India Company's district headquarters. The place was called Ghodbunder because it was where the Portuguese used to trade for ghode (horses) with the Arabs. Hence the name Ghodbunder: ghode (horses) & bunder (port). In 1530 the Portuguese came to Thane, and they began fortifying the hill area about 1550, but completion of the fort in its current form was in 1730. The Portuguese name for the fort was Cacabe de Tanna. It was under Portuguese rule until 1737. The Portuguese built a church in the fort that still stands,[1] and is now used as a hotel. Two angels engraved on the inside wall of the church still remains. The old church can be seen clearly in the background of the courtyard photo. There are many old maps and texts which mention continual attempts by the Marathas to capture this fort. The Portuguese were able to defend Ghodbunder Fort from these attacks successfully for many years,[2] including the attack in 1672 by the forces of Shivaji. However, the Marathas under Chimnaji Appa successfully besieged the fort and took it over from the Portuguese in 1737.[2][3] Following its capture, Sambhaji ordered the strengthening of the fortifications, initiating the construction of the tower. In 1818, the British occupied the fort and made it the headquarters of the district administration for the East Indian Company, with a district collector stationed in Thane.[4] Currently the fort lies in ruins, but there has been some renovation work started by the Government to preserve it.[5] The fort itself is under the control of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).[5] {{clear}}References1. ^{{cite book|last=Karkari |first=R.P.|title=The Charm of Bombay |publisher=READ BOOKS|year=2008|pages=423|isbn=1-4097-9294-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=S7NRZidhAnEC&pg=PA423&dq=Ghodbunder+fort&as_brr=3&client=firefox-a#PPA423,M1|accessdate=27 March 2009}} {{-}}{{Forts in Maharashtra}}{{Forts in India}}2. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.mid-day.com/news/2007/dec/799975.htm|title=Mid-day|last=Ashar|first=Hemal|date=2007-12-03|accessdate=2009-03-30}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Incredible India: Places to Visit Maharashtra: Ghodbunder (43 Km.)|url=http://www.incredibleindia.org/newsite/cms_page.asp?pageid=1321|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014060655/http://incredibleindia.org/newsite/cms_page.asp?pageid=1321|archivedate=14 October 2007|deadurl=no}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=History becomes mystery|last=Rao|first=Shilpa|date=17 May 2007|url=http://www.cybernoon.com/DisplayArticle.asp?section=xtras&subsection=bombayfirst&xfile=May2007_extraspecial_standard806&child=extraspecial|archive-url=https://archive.is/20070808020334/http://www.cybernoon.com/DisplayArticle.asp?section=xtras&subsection=bombayfirst&xfile=May2007_extraspecial_standard806&child=extraspecial|dead-url=yes|archive-date=8 August 2007}} 5. ^1 {{Cite news|author=Mehta, Rajshri|title=Plans afoot to beautify ruined Ghodbunder Fort|date=31 January 2014|newspaper=The Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thane/Plans-afoot-to-beautify-ruined-Ghodbunder-Fort/articleshow/29635859.cms|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202082855/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thane/Plans-afoot-to-beautify-ruined-Ghodbunder-Fort/articleshow/29635859.cms|archivedate=2 February 2014|deadurl=no|df=dmy-all}} 9 : Forts in Maharashtra|Portuguese forts in India|History of Thane district|Tourist attractions in Thane district|1550s establishments in Portuguese India|1730s in Portuguese India|16th-century forts in India|17th-century forts in India|Forts around Mumbai |
