Right in the center of the posh vicinity of the Fort, nestled between the iconic Flora Fountain and the Kala Ghoda is an area which has been the beating heart of this city that has made it the Financial Capital of the country. But not many are aware that the Bombay Fort was nothing more than a small port town and it was only due to a war that took place on the other end of the globe that led to its rapid transformation. Join us in this short walk as we shuffle between the eras of the humble Port Town and the Financial Powerhouse to discover names and institutions that gave shape to this part of the Fort.Duration
