Diu Fort is a majestic fortification located on the western coast of India, in the Diu district of the Union Territory of Daman and Diu, Gujarat.

Surrounded by the Arabian Sea on three sides, the fort offers picturesque views of the vast expanse of water. Its massive walls and double moat testify to its defensive capabilities.
