A Historic Gem with a Rich Past - Surat Fort. Rating: 4.1/5 I recently visited the Surat Fort in Surat, India, and it was an enlightening experience. This 16th-century fort is a historic gem with a rich past, offering a glimpse into the region's fascinating history. The fort's architecture and design are impressive, with sturdy walls, bastions, and a majestic entrance. The museum inside the fort showcases a collection of artifacts, weapons, and exhibits that narrate the story of Surat's past. What struck me most was the fort's significance in Indian history, having played a crucial role in the country's struggle for independence. The knowledgeable guides and informative signage bring the fort's history to life. Surat Fort is perfect for history buffs, families, and anyone interested in exploring India's rich cultural heritage.

This is one amazing place you must visit in Surat. The Fort is recently restored and is now open for visitors. The fort is maintained very well. There are volunteers inside the fort to guide you. You will find museums with ancient artefacts inside the fort. The fort is built with Portuguese architecture. Enjoy great views from the top. The entry ticket is approximately Rs. 100/-. I suggest to visit in the morning, so that you have ample time to see the fort. The closing time is 4 in the evening. It takes approximately 2 hours to explore the fort. Plan your trip accordingly.

This fort of Surate is really beautiful and newly reconstructed.Here we have such a security system to guide you from place to place.There are 22 such museums inside and various types of history are shown there. At some places there are ramps and there is also a separate arrangement for wheelchairs so that even the disabled can use it. Since the fort and its information is huge, it may take you a lot of time so plan accordingly. Accessibility Accessibility β βΏπΉπΊπ§βπ¦½π¨βπ¦―β

Excellent work done by Surat Municipal Corporation in reviving the historical Surat fort. I urge everyone living in or visiting Surat must visit the fort so SMC can keep expanding it.
