The fort was
probably built by the Bijapur kings in the 17th century. Captured and
strengthened by Shivaji, it became a stronghold of Maratha navy and remained
with the Peshwas till 1818 AD. It was one of the main naval bases of the
Angres.
Gova, Kanakadurg and Fatehgarh forts on the mainland are separated from Suvarnadurg by a narrow channel. The small Gova fort was stronger than the other two. It has two gates, one towards the land and another towards the sea. On the wall of the sea-gate there are carved figures of a tiger, eagle and elephants.
The old buildings inside the fort are in ruins. Kanakadurg has the sea on three sides. Nothing remains of the fort, except two broken bastions.
There is a light at its higher point. Fatehgarh is in complete ruin. Most probably, these three small forts were built by Kanhoji Angre (1667-1729AD) to protect Suvarnadurg from the land route.
