The riverside fort on the Yamuna north of Vishram Ghat that local tradition names as the seat of King Kamsa. What stands today is Rajput work: Raja Man Singh of Amber rebuilt the fort in the late 16th century, and Sawai Jai Singh II later set up an astronomical observatory on it, of which nothing survives. It is passed on the Mathura parikrama between Krishna Ganga Ghat and the ghats of the old city.
