Sudhaghad fort: The fort of Sudhagad is said to be of 2nd Century BC. The fort was also called as Bhorapgad. In the year 1436 the fort was captured by Bahamani Sultan. After that in the year 1657 the Marathas captured the fort and renamed it as "Sudhagad". The fort was too large and Shivaji Maharaj had considered it as the capital of the Kingdom.
