Arnala Fort is built on a small island off the port town of Arnala, located around 13 km (8 miles) north of Bassein, Maharashtra, India.[1] Being an island fort, it is also called Jaldurg or Janjire-Arnala. The Marathas who build the present fort called it Janjire Arnala.[2]

The Vaitarna River in North Konkan meets the sea near this fort, allowing it to overlook the entire bay.

The Government of India declared this fort as a National Protected Monument in Maharashtra on May 26, 1909.
