The Ruined Seat of the Peshwas Shaniwar Wada is a fortified 18th-century palace in the heart of Pune, Maharashtra, India, built in 1732 by Peshwa Bajirao I as the seat of the Peshwas, the prime ministers who effectively ruled the Maratha Confederacy until 1818. A great fire in 1828 destroyed most of the wooden palace within, leaving the massive stone fortifications, gateways and foundations that survive today.
