| Surat Castle, or Surat Fort, is a 16th-century structure in the city of Surat. The Ahmedabad king Sultan Mahmood-III (1538–1554) ordered its construction to defend the city from the frequent attacks that had devastated it. It is now filled with government offices, but you can go up to the top for a marvelous view of the city and Tapi river. | |
