'''Patta Fort''', or '''Patta Killa''', also known as '''Vishramgad''' ( {{lang-mr|पट्टा किल्ला}} ), is a fort situated between [[Nasik]] and [[Ahmadnagar]] in [[Maharashtra]], India. The Indian ruler [[Shivaji]] maharaj once visited and rested there. The residents of Patta Killa are known as ''Pattekar'', meaning "residents of Fort Patta". Patta Fort stands approximately {{convert|1,392|m}} above sea level.

==History==
The fort was located in the [[Bahmani Sultanate]]. In 1490, when the Bahamani Empire was divided, the fort was taken over by Nizam of [[Ahmednagar]]. In 1627, it was conquered by the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]].
In 1671, Moropant Pingale seized the fort, but the Mughals retook it again in 1672.
In 1675, the fort was taken over by [[Moropant Trimbak Pingle|Moropant Pingale.]]

Patta was once at the border of the Swarajya. [[Shivaji]] arrived at this fort in November 1679 after fleeing the battle at Jalnapur. The [[Mughal army]] trapped him on three sides.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Rana |first1=Bhawan Singh |title=Chhatrapati Shivaji |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HsBPTc3hcekC&q=jalnapur+battle&pg=PA100 |publisher=Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd. |language=en |date=2005|isbn=9788128808265 }}</ref> Thanks to [[Bahirji Naik]], a spy and military commander, Shivaji was able to reach Patta safely.

On 11 January 1688, the fort was occupied by the Mughul army headed by [[Matabar Khan]]. He appointed Govindsingh of Bhagur as the fort's chief. Peshwas later seized the fort in 1761. In 1818, the fort was conquered by the British army.<ref>{{cite web |title=Subhedar Matabar Khan News – Latest Subhedar Matabar Khan News, Subhedar Matabar Khan Photos and Videos {{!}} Dna India |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/topic/subhedar-matabar-khan/amp |website=www.dnaindia.com}}</ref>

==Places to See==
Patta Fort is straightforward to climb. During the full moon ([[Purnima|Poornima]]), the disciples of Laxmangiri Maharaj gather at these caves.
The 'Ambarkhana' is a large, newly reconstructed hall which can accommodate about 200 visitors for overnight stays.

A rock-cut cistern exists near Ambarkhana. With villagers' help, the forest department has developed pathways, steps, and a gazebo around the fort.

Many wind turbines have been erected on the way to Pattewadi, constructed by [[Enercon]].

In the ''Bhavarth Ramayana'' written by [[Eknath]], Patta Fort and Aundha Fort are mentioned.{{Clarify|date=June 2017}}<ref>[http://trekshitiz.com/trekshitiz/marathi/Patta-Trek-P-Alpha.html ]{{dead link|date=February 2021|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120828222935/http://trekshitiz.com/trekshitiz/marathi/Patta-Trek-P-Alpha.html|archivedate=August 28, 2012}}</ref>
