Surat’s 16th‑century defensive fort built under Sultan Mahmud III to resist repeated Portuguese attacks. Completed in 1546, it features massive round bastions, iron‑bonded stonework and lead‑sealed joints. Recent restorations highlight layers from Tughlaq, Gujarat Sultanate, Mughal and British eras.
