Shaniwar Wada is a historic fortification located in the city of Pune, India. Constructed in 1732, it served as the seat of the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire until 1818 when the British East India Company took over. The fort is renowned for its monumental architecture, including the grand entrance known as the Delhi Darwaza, and intricate wooden carvings. Despite a catastrophic fire in 1828 that destroyed much of its interior, Shaniwar Wada remains a significant cultural and historical landmark, attracting numerous tourists and history enthusiasts.
