About

Fort Vasai (Vasai killa in Marathi, Fort Vasai in English) is a ruined fort in the town of Vasai (Bassein), Konkan Division, Maharashtra, India. The structure was formally christened as the Fort of St. Sebastian in the Indo-Portuguese era. The fort is a monument of national importance and is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.

The fort and the town are accessible via the Vasai Railway Station which itself is in the city of Vasai-Virar, and lies to the immediate north of the city of Mumbai (Bombay). The Naigaon Railway Station is on the Western Railway line (formerly the Bombay-Baroda railway) in the direction of the Virar railway station.
