Jaigad Fort(Marathi: जयगड किल्ला, Jayagaḍa killā) (Also transliterated as Zyghur in old British records.
[2]) is a coastal fortification that is located at the tip of a peninsula in Jaigad, Ratnagiri District at a distance of 14 km from the temple town of Ganpatipule, in the state of Maharashtra, India.
Nestled on a cliff, it overlooks a bay formed where the Shastri river enters the Arabian Sea.
In the middle of the 13 acre fort lies the palace of Kanhoji Angre, a Ganpati temple and wells to store water.
In 1713, Jaigad was one of the ten forts which was ceded by Balaji Vishwanath Peshwa to Kanhoji Angre.
