Sarjekot (Alibaug)
History :
      It has been traced from one of the edicts of Shivaji Maharaj that he had ordered to build a fort on the shore and if required flatten the hilly terrain or build the fort on top of it. The main aim was to arrest the permeability of the area from enemies. It is suspected that Sambhaji maharaj built the fort on the rock adjoining the Kolaba fort taking into consideration the above edict.


Marathas built a fort on Khanderi island in the sea of Alibaug and left the island of Undheri unused. In 1671, the Siddi of Janjira captured Undheri and built a fort on it which proved to be a smart move against the Marathas. Sambhaji Maharaj might have deduced the same danger for Kolaba and Sarjekot forts and decided to build a causeway to join them.
