In the year 1534, Vasai Fort came under the custody of Portuguese after the defeat of Sultan Bahadur Shah. The fort served as a military base and a base for commercial activities for Portuguese. The place became really important and they made Vasai as their capital city. Portuguese constructed seven churches, hospitals, colleges, convents, and administrative centers in and around the Vasai Fort. The fort was also used by the Portuguese Governor as his official residence whenever he visited Vasai. The Fort stretched in an area of 110 acres and became one of the most strategic locations for Portugueses. Meanwhile, the Marathas kept trying to take possession of the Vasai Fort and finally, on 12th May 1739, Marathas won the battle against Portuguese and took the control of Fort Vasai.
