Visapur Fort is a part of the Lohagad-Visapur fortification. Located at an elevation of 1,084 m above sea level, the fort is built on the same plateau as Lohagad. Placed on a hill near Visapur Village, the fort was built between 1713 and 1720 CE by Balaji Vishwanath, the first Peshwa ruler. Caves, cisterns of water, a decorated arch and old houses are located within the fort. Two roofless buildings, surrounded by veranda walls, are also located within the complex.
Hanuman is the patron deity of the Visapur Fort. Owing to this, several temples dedicated to Hanuman, along with a huge carving of him are also located within the complex.
