Surat Castle, Surat

Surat was a trading down, even in medieval times.

A Portuguese traveller named Barbosa during his visit to Gujarat in 1514 has described Surat as a city of great trade in all classes of merchandise, a very important seaport yielding a large revenue to the king, and frequented by many ships from Malabar and many other ports.

The fort was constructed to secure the trading town from pirates.
