A beautiful old Indian architect work to see inside the wada, a must place to visit if you are in Pune, closes by 18 hours everyday,so be around this place before that.

Shaniwar Wada in Pune is a historical site of Peshwas. Shaniwar Wada is the only witness to the greatness and glory of Bajirao Peshwa and his heirs. It would be surprising to read that it cost only sixteen thousand rupees to build such a large fort at that time. Mastani, the second wife of Bajirao Peshwa, lived in this palace.

Shaniwar Wada is a palace of Peshwas was built by Bajirao-I, in the year 1736.It was head quarter of the Peshwas and it symbolizes Pune’s culture. Shaniwar Peth, Pune, Maharashtra.

A place where you could find peace. The architecture of this place is marvellous. A good place for foreign tourist and a place that best describes Pune.

A green garden with much pure air and fresh environment. This place is very near to nature so you wont find anything built using latest technology.Though this place is for every one but you will notice that it is crowed with mostly couples.

Shaniwaarwada is great ancient sculpture to see in Pune . You will get well knowledge about history of Peshwa here .It is well maintained still today. It is a good place to visit and get known about history and eye capture that personally.Good to see historical place in center of city.

The place supposedly had a great history, but it is not well maintained and hence it is a historic monument you can roam around and take images but not learn anything.The maintaining authorities should pay some efforts towards the conveyance of the history as well.

This is a very spectacular historical place Constructed before the emergence of British. What amazes me is the brilliant style and design! It is preferred to visit during the day hours so you can get a tour of the entire area. Its very beautiful and relaxing.

Shaniwarwada is a one of the best historical place for family trip

Nice historical place. Anyone can know about construction of fort during 17th century to visit this place as well as about Peshwa Bajiraw and Mastani.

Historic place not properly preserved.One of the places worth your hour

Historical Place that served as the home and Centre of Peshwas and Maratha Empire. It is a masterpiece of Maratha Style and Medieval Period Architectecture. Today it stands with dignity and attracts Thousands of Tourists.

Historical place every maharashtrian must visit once in a life time.

Historical places is my favorite I love this all india fort 🥰😍

The construction of this palace of the Peshwas was started on a Saturday and hence the name (Saturday is Shaniwar in Hindi). This 13-storey building was started in 1730 by Bajirao I and was finally made ready in 1732. Security was given prime importance here, with nine bastions and five gateways (Dilli darwaza, Mastani darwaza, Khidki darwaza, Ganesh darwaza and Narayan darwaza). This fort was the center of Indian politics in the 18th century; the change in its status came at the heels of the rise of the Maratha empire. The fort itself was partially destroyed in a fire in 1828; whichever structures remained are now promoted for tourism. An unmissable site for tourists is the lotus-shaped fountain in the complex of the fort.

I wont be telling history of this place. But instead I will say that, this place is amazingly build. The structures are so good and well crafted. You get an amazing view for photography and this area is so green, you can sit here and relax while enjoying the sunset.

Great place to visitVery well maintainedEntry fees is 25/- rs

History of Shivaji superb place to visit

Wonderful place to spent some quality time 😊

Its great heritage place. Visited since childhood. Now better maintained thou wonder why dont they allow painting inside. You need to take permission from office which is far away. Comeback and paint. Otherwise amazing place

A historical place that used to be the home & workplace of Peshwa. Now, Only the foundation and coat wall is there. Everything is well explained on board which is placed in each area like the importance and use of each area. Stone carvings gave evidence of the art of that time. Garden is well maintained. Very neat & clean place.

Witness of true love between bajirao peshwa & mastani...Wada Still represent the history of maratha empire.

Luvd it awesome place🥰❤👍

Shaniwar wada is 18th century fort and has historical importance. Bajirao mastani legacy can be seen here. This fort is well maintained. Located in the busy lanes of Budhwar peth of Pune. Parking is available just outside the Fort. But its better if you go by Cab. Avoid going during peak sun as it becomes very hot. You need to buy entry ticket to visit inside. Washrooms available and enjoy good view of city culture. Study the importance of this place before visiting to get connected. Shaniwar wada is just walkable from Dagduseth temple. Good place for photography lovers.This palace was built by first Bajirao Peshwas in 18th century. Now we can see the ruins of the palace. This is very big palace and built just like fort. People say the it was 7 storey building. But now we can see only ground floor. We can see some ruins of the interiors inside. In front of the wada, we can see very nice statue of first Bajirao Peshwa. Also we can see nice fountain in front of statue. Inside the wada we can see ruins of fountain, horses place, Nagarkhana (where music was sang when some one royal comes in or some victory is made in war etc.). We can also walk on the wall which has several places where soldiers can take position and attack on outside enemy. There are places where canons were placed to fight. This palace was not just to stay but it has seen many wars during the Peshwas ruling. It has seen many victories as well as losses in wars like major war in Panipat which is historical. You may reach the wada from Pune railway station but more convenient is Shivajinagar railway station from where every 5 minutes there are buses passing by the wada and bus stop is closer to entry.Shaniwarwada is arguably the topmost attraction of Pune City.Pune is considered cultural capital of Maharashtra. Peshwas - the Prime Ministers of Shahu Maharaj (descendent of Great King Shivaji) - expanded the Maratha Kingdom up to Attock in the north. Shaniwarwada was their most celebrated residence. It was built by Peshwa Bajirao in 1732 and had a short lifespan of less than 100 years as it was burnt down in 1828.What remains today inside the fortified walls of this momumental residence is ruins that are witness to its past glory. You can experience that glory even today. All you need is a little bit of imagination and visualisation.There is a huge lawn inside and fountains. There are plaques around explaining what part of this residence stood at that particular place during the reign of Peshwas. Unfortunately all plaques are in Marathi - the local language.A guide is a must. It may be good idea to pick up guide books sold near the entrance, if you are interested in history. Entry fee for Indians is much less than for foreigners.(If you like the review pls like it and share it with your other friends who are planning to visit this place)

The aura of the place was good and there was some thing about that whole place which was very unique and soothing

Best historical place to go hereBut due to corona its close for few days but it can be open soon

Old Peshwa wada best place to visit and observe the old culture...

Its a beautiful historical monument built by Peshwas in 1732. Its a beautiful place. The iron doors are still sturdy as shown in film Bajirao Mastani. It has a huge statue of Bajirao and his story and victories is mentioned. His sign is also there. Overall it takes you back to the history a very beautiful place. Must visit place if you visit Pune. If you walk little ahead from Shaniwar Wada you can visit the famous Pune Ganpati and seek blessings and do darshan of Shreemat Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati. Its hardly 5-7 mins walking from Shaniwar Wada.

Apart from historical significance, there is not much to boast about. It looks more like garden than the palace. Cleanliness is good, Entry fees is reasonable but dont expect much out of it.

Shaniwar wada is a Historical place. The visitors enters from a huge attractive main gate know as delhi darwaja. It faces north towards the delhi thats why it is called delhi darwaja. Another attraction of this place is the garden ❤️, fountain,and jharokha.Food court is available here.

The landmark of Pune, iconic monument. Built by the Peshwas, this is historic. The Wada appears in most of the movies Bollywood and Marathi too. The place is very well maintained and there is an entry free. They have ample parking here. Perfect place for a photoshoot. Its located in the heart of old Pune, so getting to this place is a bit of a pain if you are located in the suburbs or any part outside old Pune. There is a guided audio tour as well. It was closed during the pandemic. One must not miss paying a visit to this place.

Theres a beautifully landscaped and well-maintained garden inside the premises. Gives a fair idea of its past glory. You can take a walk along the ramparts on 3 sides and also climb up to the viewing gallery atop the main entrance. (warning- quite a steep staircase to climb)The entrance fee of ₹25 per person is well worth it.A must-visit place.

Beautiful place. Well maintained lawns. Must take a ticket and visit inside. Good spot for taking pictures

A wonderful guide for the kids, as I visited this historical place to show my kids. Its a part of their GK curriculum, visiting the places could be easy to remember and implement.

The antique place to visit and spend some time with you and your family and friends.

Nice fort. I was actually searching there for Nana Saheb ghost but didn’t find him😆 Anyway like any other fort, this place has some really good stories. Try to google it before you give a visit here. It’s really a nice place👍🏻

Situated center of the city, little tedious to reach due to heavy traffic around, better to take auto or cab. there is a huge parking problem, especially in weekends. as it is surrounded by market, you can take a walk for tea, snacks. remember entry fees is 25 rupee per person.Awesome historical site. But authorities should look into cleanliness. Also, people are not keeping this place neat and clean. There were plenty of plastic wraps and bottles inside and around the place.

Very beautiful monument to visit with family and friends ...

An awesome place to visit around when you are at Pune. Have lots of History attached to it.Visit early as it gets closed by 6 PM. You might need Min Half Day to enjoy and observe each minor detailings done inside.Weekend attracts huge crowd and be aware of parking complications. Better to take an Auto or Cab.As quoted somewhere I rememberYou can check out anytime you like,But you can never leave………………

A place rich with history!But sadly not much of the old grandeur is left.Still a great place to visit.You can walk around the entire place from a height and have amazing views from different angles.Entry fee is 50inr for Indians. (I was mistaken for a foreigner 😏)Open till 6pm.The garden outside is also good.There is no washroom.

Its a Great historical place In Pune. People in Pune celebrate Deepotsav here in each Deewali . Its a central Place in Pune City.Due to Covid 19 Pendamic It was closed since last year and made open just 4 days back. People in Pune and Maharashtra ce here and visit Shaniwarwada...to remember History

Nice 👍 place feeling good...

Old historical places reminde us our history. The palace is maintained well preserved. Everyday crowd of peoples visit to see.while roaming inside u will imagine that time.

Its Nice that the forts are well maintained....lots of fast food stalls .... thats good but hell lot of traffic.... too much crowded... and sadly no proper street lights.... n roads with potholes above that no proper street lights .... and the worst part is that 90% of the people are without mask... its very sad .... each one should take the responsibility to fight out this covid 19...and be responsible....( whether u r vaccinated or not is the 2nd thing... )

Shaniwarwada is a historical fortification in the city of pune in Maharashtra , india...it is a very nice place ...

Its a good place to visit. Maharastra tourism made this easy for people to enjoy.Its a historical place. Central courtyard makes comfortable. Greenery will help people to enjoy more.Car parking is available. Kids can play around. Very good to visit.

Nice place for family time

Awesome historical site. But authorities should look into cleanliess. Also, people are not keeping this place neat and clean. There were plenty of plastic wraps and bottles inside and around the place.

The place is simple and beautiful. But people visiting as tourists will be disappointed to know that it is a hyped place overall. But if you have time to spend and a quick visit could be done to this place.

It was nice for outing, 25 RS ticket for one person , free of cost for children below 12 yrs, historical place, can be covered in 30 minutes,

Very nice from out side but my bad luck I reached after 5.30pm thats why we didnt allowed to enter in side

This is historical place in the heart of pune city. Its currently closed due to covid. But if you visit here during or just after reny days. You can still fill wormth of Peshwa Bajirao and Maratha Empire here. The centre of power for people of Maharashtra. I salute to this place. And I feel proud I visited this place. Once it is open for public. You can visit this place with family.

Shaniwar Wada is a historical fort and palace of Peshwas of Maratha Empire. About 300 years ago it was built by Bajirao Peshwa. It has historical significant, many historical events are associated with this palace, like the love story of Bajirao and Mastani. Mastani lived for some time with Bajirao at this palace. The palace was burnt by mysterious fire of 1828, that destroyed totaly. Only structure of main gate & boundary wall etc left over after the fire. Maintainance of the palace is poor.The authority must give proper attention to maintain the important historical heritage of India. It is nice place to hang out with friend and family. I had visited it in 2017.

Good place to visit..in punePrice is 25 rupee for adults.You can spend good time this place

If in pune, do not miss this historic siteIt was seat of the peshwas of maratha empireIn diwali, entire shaniwar wada is lit with diyas and is a spectacular scene to watch

It was in my mind since many years, but after seeing this in film Bajirao Mastani I was more curious to see it. I have visited this place twice, for light and sound show, but unable to see due to closure of Corona. I will try further as and when it will be open further.

Such a Nice PlaceFelling Very Peacefull EnvironmentHistory of our Peshwas is still AliveMust Visit This place 🇮🇳❤🇮🇳

Historical place.Located center of the city. Please avoid own vehicle, better to take an auto or cab. Parking problems in weekends. Must visit place in Pune city with an entry fee of Rs. 25/head.This was earlier a place build for Mastani by Pheswa Bajirao. The place is always crowded because of the reachability, accessibility.

A nice place to move.

Situated center of the city, little tedious to reach due to heavy traffic around , better to take auto or cab. there is a huge parking problem, especially in weekends. as it is surrounded by market, you can take a walk for tea, snacks. remember entry fees is 25 rupee per person.

Built in 1746,it was the seat of the Peshwa rulers of the Maratha Empire until 1818 when the Peshwas surrendered to the British.

This old mansion boasts of a history of 287 years and was the seat of the Peshwas, who were the Prime Ministers to the Maratha rulers.

It was a great experience for me love it

Historical place . Nice place to visit.

Its garden surrounded by huge walls and nice looking entrance , you can spend 1-2 hours there with friends and family and cam roam around, its like a mini fort with garden inside.

Its a really nice place to visit . Great historical identity to witness . And as it is located in Central pune it is easily accessible. And food facility also available just a footsteps away .

Good historic place where one can spend peaceful time in the garden inside the wada.Entry for adult is Rs.25/- and free for kids.Do visit during evening and enjoy the cool breeze.

This place tells the glory of Peshwa is now just remains the ruins of the fort, conserved and maintained by Archeological Survey India. I accidentally went there on shivaji jayanti which is widely celebrated in Maharashtra. So, there was a good number of crowd assembled in the fort. People were in thier usual marathi dresses.Talking about the fort, it is a ruined quila of Peshwa , the story can be checked in Wikipedia though , there are some important points which are marked and inked with small story.It is a good place for photography and making videos as well. The huge boundary covers the whole palace is assumed to be of the era of shivaji. There is a big darwaza in the front, similarly there are 2-3 more darwaza of that period. The place can be visited atleast once.There is a parking space available within the premises , so you can park your vehicle. The entry fees is 15 rupees per person.

Very happy to visit after along time, security staff at gate was very co operative,

I visited Shaniwar Wada yesterday and it was unexpected solo trip for me. Amazing historical place which is part of Maharashtra.

Awesome.....Well maintained.....

Its good to go with our family, to spend good time with our family, great place to know our history our culture and cost us 25₹ per person, entry fees, but they should maintain properly our historical place, now its family garden from inside, and only Doors & Walls are left to see and teach our children, ( like his clothes, weapons, his room ) there is nothing to tell our children like how many people was staying in Shaniwar Wada, guard, horse, elephant, war items, about his family or any Old pictures how Shaniwar Wada look like before, nothing, now only left is the Walls and Doors.

Amazing place to visit Atleast once. Good old construction. Good place for photoshoot too. You have to pay 25rs fee to see the inner part of the fort. And its worth it.Shaniwar Wada in Pune is a historical palace and fort that chronicles the glory and grandeur of the Maratha Empire. This old mansion boasts of a history of 287 years and was the seat of the Peshwas, who were the Prime Ministers to the Maratha rulers. It served as a melting pot of culture and politics until the Peshwas lost the Wada to the British in 1818.Today, it stands as one of the finest architectural legacies and a prime tourist attraction in the city of Pune. If you are a history buff or enjoy art and architecture, this monument must be on your itineraryShaniwar Wada was built by Peshwa Baji Rao I, a general under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj of the Maratha Empire. He laid the foundation of the site in 1730 and the construction was completed in 1732. Initially, it was intended to be a colossal seven-storied palace made of stones. However, after the construction of the base floor, the people of the national capital complained to the king that only he was authorized to build stone palaces. Consequently, the remaining floors were constructed using bricks. The full impact of this was felt when the British artillery attacked the palace 90 years after its construction.Shaniwar Wada features the Maratha Imperial architectural style. For the construction, teak was sourced from the Junnar jungles while lime was brought from the Jejuri lime belts and stones from the Chinchwad quarries.The fortification wall of the palace had five entry points and nine bastion towers. The palace was designed with intricately carved teak doorways, exquisitely designed teak pillars, and marble floors. Scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata adorned its walls while glass chandeliers hung from the ceilings. Within the palace complex, the Ganpati Rang Mahal was erected as a separate place for observing religious functions. It had a massive statue of Lord Ganesha.

Shaniwar wada depicts the history of Peshwas.. The place is under Archeological Survey of India and well maintain.. The lush greenery makes u feel calm even in the scorching heat.. Experience the grandeur of the monument and epic history of Peshwas.. Js Imagining the monument in its full structure makes u chill... Maintain the decorum of our heritage.. Incredible India..

Shaniwar wada is nice place for one day picnic. It tells about history and its importance. It was built 300 years ago and is maintained now and is clean too. Inside the palace there are information written beside each place. There is parking available too and entry ticket is 25 rs only. To sum up it is good place to visit and know about historic significance.
