Mahim Fort: The Mahim Fort is a fort in Mahim, in Mumbai (Bombay), India. It was built by the first governor of Bombay, Gerald Aungier (1669-1677). It was part of the larger Bombay Castle. The fort lies off the Mahim Causeway which links the suburbs to the city. In 1684, the fort was strengthened by Sir Thomas Grantham. In 1772, the Portuguese attempted to attack this fort, but they were repelled by the British with cannonballs. The Mount Mary’s Basilica also was damaged during this encounter. According to accounts, the fort had 100 soldiers and 30 cannons at that time.
