Its was our effort to capture this beautiful fort through the angle it has never been seen before. The Korlai Fort (also called Morro or Castle Curlew) is a Portuguese fortification in the town of Korlai, Alibaug, Maharashtra, India. It was built in year 1521 on an island (Morro de Chaul) which guards the way to the Revdanda Creek. It was meant as a companion to the fort at Chaul. At this strategic position the Portuguese could use it to defend their province which stretched from Korlai to Bassein. Vestiges of the Portuguese occupation are manifested in the distinct dialect of the Korlai villages inhabitants which is a Luso-Indian Portuguese Creole called Kristi. Before its destruction, Korlai had been described by travelers as a "magnificent fortress as strong as any other in the world".[4] On the inland side - the only place where it was susceptible to be attacked it was protected by a ditch and could only be accessed by a drawbridge. The main entrance was guarded by a bronze lion and the highest tower by a bronze eagle. It housed 7,000 horses and as much men.
