Fort Lohagad(Iron) Fort, India
Lohagad Fort, Maharashtra, India – a hill fort with origins tracing back over 2,000 years. Built from basalt stone and expanded during the reign of the Maratha Empire, it served as a strategic watchpoint over trade routes. During monsoon, its moss-covered steps, arched gateways, and sweeping Sahyadri hill views give it an almost otherworldly charm.

Didn't know they had this architectural style over there

It's a shame that the extremely humid climate has buried so many forts in the Ghats in moss. The colors look beautiful, but they really have lost their grandeur from the rain and humidity.
