The name Chapora is give by the famous Chapora River that flows unceasingly near the fort. This once spectacular fort now lies in ruins. However, its rich history still keeps the fort alive in the minds of all those who see it. Fort Chapora dates back to 1617. Thus, the influence of Portuguese architecture is clearly seen in the red laterite stones, from which this fort is built.
