Shaniwar Wada is a palace fort in the heart of Pune City, India. It was the seat of Peshwa rulers until 1818 when the Peshwas surrendered to British. In 1828 AD, an unexplained fire gutted the buildings in this palace complex. All that remains now are their stone plinths and the perimeter fortification wall.
