Shaniwarwada is a 300 year old historical fort & one of the the main tourist attractions in Pune.

Built in 1732 in the Maratha Imperial Architectural style, it was the great throne of the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire until 1818.

Following the rise of the Maratha Empire, the fort became the centre of Indian politics in the 18th century.

The fort itself was largely destroyed in 1828 by a fire, but the surviving structures are now maintained as a tourist attraction.

The Shaniwarwada was originally a seven-storey building and after being attacked by the British Artillery 90 years later, all the top six stories collapsed leaving only the stone base, which was immune to the British artillery. Hence only the stone base of the Shaniwar Wada remains and can be seen today.
