Kolaba Fort (sometimes "Kulaba Fort") is an old military fortification in India. It is situated in the sea at a distance of 1-2 km from the shores of Alibag in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, India. Shivaji Maharaj constructed the fort in 1680. It has two gates: one shoreside and the other seaside. An interesting feature of this fort is that it was a freshwater well inside, even though it is a seaside fort. In the autumn, it can be reached by wading through waist-deep water at low tide, however, at high tide, boats must be used to reach it. (It should not to be confused with Colaba of Mumbai.)
