Sitabuldi Fort (Marathi: सीताबर्डी किल्ला), site of the Battle of Sitabuldi in 1817, is located atop a hillock in central Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. The fort was built by the British after they won this area following the battle of Sitabuldi. After winning the battles of Sitaburdi, Sakkardara and Nagpur Richard Jenkins allowed Mudhoji II Senasaheb Subha to continue to rule to Nagpur and entered into a treaty with him on 6th January 1818 which wasratified later by Governor General.
