Fort Jadhavgadh, built in 1710, is a Heritage fort situated in Maharashtra. Fort Jadhavgarh is situated in the beautiful rolling hills located 22 km away from Pune on the old Pune - Satara Road at a height of 2511 ft above sea level.
The Fort - a fine example of Maratha craftsmanship - was built by Pillaji Madhavrao in 1710, a man who himself was as strong in mind and body as the stone structure he envisioned to create. He was a Maratha General in the army of Chatrapati Shahuji and proved his mettle each and every time someone dared to challenge the supremacy of the Maratha ruler. Similarly, this fort rises up to the challenge of meeting the expectations of the visitors and passes with flying colours.
