Sitabuldi Fort

A hilltop fort from the 1817 Anglo-Maratha war, open to the public only twice a year.

Sitabuldi Fort occupies twin hills at the center of Nagpur and marks the site of the 1817 Battle of Sitabuldi between the Kingdom of Nagpur and British forces. Built by a British officer soon after, the fort now falls under Indian Army control and opens to visitors only on Independence Day and Republic Day. It holds a cell associated with Gandhi's imprisonment, along with a memorial to soldiers lost in the Anglo-Maratha conflict. The hilltop location offers sweeping views over the city, making the fort a compact but historically dense stop.
