The Manora fort is situated 65 km away from Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The fort was built by Maratha ruler Serfoji II in 1814–1815 to commemorate the successful advance of the British over Napoléon Bonaparte.
Manora Fort, with its rather striking stone edifice and sylvan settings is most certainly worth visiting. With its tales of hidden treasures and secret passages, it makes it all the more attractive and mysterious! The fort is a great example of Maratha architecture.
Unfortunately, visitors are allowed to go only up two storeys within the fort because the authorities fear that thanks to extensive damage, there is a danger of the tower collapsing. But even climbing two floors gives you such awesome views of the cobalt seas and the lush coconut groves, that it’s worth the visit.
