Abstract: *Abandoned Treasures: Forts of Mumbai* is a book by NGO NAGAR that explores the current state and historical importance of Mumbai’s eight remaining forts, originally built during Portuguese rule. All forts are protected monuments, with preservation overseen by the Archaeological Survey of India and the Directorate of Archaeology and Museums. The book highlights the forts’ architectural and cultural value, documents their surroundings, and underscores the neglect they face. It aims to raise public awareness and promote conservation efforts, urging authorities and citizens alike to recognize the forts as vital parts of Mumbai’s heritage that deserve attention and preservation.
