Windows

Bare windows of Sion Fort.

The Sion Hillock Fort was built under the regime of the English East India Company, between 1669 and 1677, atop a conical hillock when Gerard Aungier was the Governor of Bombay. When it was built, the fort marked the boundary between British-held Parel island and the Portuguese held Salsette Island that lay to the north across the creek.

Monochrome mania


Once upon a time in history.... this was a watchtower on the Sion Hillock fort that was built by the British between 1669 and 1677 to mark the boundary between the British held Parel island and the Portugese held Salsette island to the north of the creek.

Kitchen?


This structure must have been a kitchen in the Sion fort. Nothing mentioned about it though. What do you think?
