The Worli Fort is a fort in Worli, Mumbai, India.[1] Though often incorrectly assumed to have been built by the Portuguese, the fort was built by the British around 1675 on Worli Hill. Worli Fort overlooked Mahim Bay at a time when the city comprised just seven islands. The Fort was used as a lookout for enemy ships and pirates.
The centuries-old village is home to one of the oldest communities of fisherfolk still existing in Mumbai. It was built after the construction of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.[2]
The area around Worli Hill is also known for its fossils and interesting geology[3]
