Gawilghur

Gawilghur (also Gawilgarh) is the name of well-fortified stronghold of the Maratha Empire. It was popularly considered impregnable at the time but was successfully assaulted by Arthur Wellesley (later the First Duke of Wellington) in 1803. The remains of the fortress are located in the vicinity of Melghat Tiger Reserve in Amravati District of Maharashtra.

In popular culture, the campaign to take Gawilghur forms the background of the novel Sharpe's Fortress by Bernard Cornwell.
