🎯 *History of Pratapgad Fort*
The main purpose of construction of the Pratapgad fort was to defend the banks of the Nira and the Koyna rivers, and to defend the Par pass by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Construction of the fort was completed in 1656. Pratapgad is famous for the famous Battle of Pratapgarh. This battle was fought between Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Afzal Khan. During British era, Pratapgad fort also witnesses the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818. However, Pratapgad had to surrender and that was a great setback to the Maratha forces, as Pratapgad was an important stronghold, had a large garrison. Revering the valour of the warrior Shivaji, a 17-foot high equestrian bronze statue of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was unveiled by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India in 1957. This statue of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj can still be seen while climbing to the Pratapgad at the beginning.
