A prominent historical landmark in Pune is Shaniwarwada which is considered as one of the best pune tourist places. It is a majestic fortification which was built in 1732 and during that time it was the seat of the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire and they ruled over there until 1818. After they lost control to the British East India Company, they could not use it longer. But when they were in the reign, Shaniwarwada was the centre of Indian politics in the 18th century and is one of the famous places to visit in pune with friends.

But in 1828, the fort was destroyed by a huge fire and later the remnants were transformed to become a tourist site. Shaniwarwada was a seven-storied capital building of the Peshwas and they wanted the building to be made of stone alone. However, after the completion of the ground floor, the people of Satara insisted that stone monument can be sanctioned and built only by the Shahu King, not the Peshwas.

Aga Khan Palace was built by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III in 1892. In the history of India, this palace stands out as one of India's largest landmarks. The palace existed as a charity, and the sultan who built it wanted to help the poor in the area. The powerful monument was an important part of Pune tourism and was closely associated with the Indian Freedom Movement as it served as a prison for Mahatma Gandhi and his wife, his secretary, Sarojini Naidu. Is considered a shining jewel in the history of India.
