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 and was used as a lookout for enemy ships.
The centuries-old village is home to one of the oldest communities of fisherfolk which is still existing in Mumbai.[2]
The area around Worli Hill is also known for its fossils and geology[3]
