Pratapgad is located 15 kilometres from Poladpur and 25 kilometres from Mahabaleshwar. This fort stands 1,080 metres above sea level and is built on a spur which overlooks the road between the villages of Par and Kinesvar.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (छत्रपति शिवाजी महाराज) had commissioned Moropant Trimbak Pingale, his Prime Minister (Peshwe - पेशवे) to build this fort in 1656 in order to defend the banks of Nira and Koyna rivers and the Par pass।
