Atnadurg(bhagavati FORT) is at a separation of 2 to 3 km from Ratnagiri city. It is the principle fascination for the voyagers due to the delightful Bhagvati sanctuary on it, pleasant perspective of the ocean and a mystery route to the ocean.

Ratnadurg is near to Ratnagiri and is based on a mountain close to the shore. Fortress resembles the horseshoe and its territory is around 120 sections of land. It is encompassed by the ocean on three sides and is associated with the area at the southeast.

At the base is the nearby harbor named Mirkarwada. Ratnadurg was assembled amid the rule of Bahamanis. In 1670 Shivaji Maharaj won this fortress from Adilshah. In 1790 Dhondu Bhaskar Pratinidhi remade this stronghold in 1790 and made it stronger.

In spite of the fact that it is not being used these days, an enormous hollow toward the end of thusly can be seen from the defenses on the path between the fundamental door and the beacon.

At some separation ahead we can have an entrancing perspective of the seashore from a bastion. The name of this bastion is 'Rede Buruj' and here we discover a column. On the fortress there is a little lake and a well.
