Sion Fort
Sion Fort, also known as Sion Hillock Fort, is a historic fort located in Mumbai City, Maharashtra. Built between 1669 and 1677 under the regime of the English East India Company, the fort was constructed atop a conical hillock when Gerard Aungier was the Governor of Bombay. It marked the boundary between British-held Parel island and Portuguese-held Salsette Island.
The fort offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, including the salt pans in Thane Creek. Although it has fallen into disrepair over the years, with scattered walls and ruins overrun by trees and ground cover, it still retains its old charm. The fort is a Grade I Heritage structure and is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.
