Fort Bassein, also known as the Vasai Fort or Fort Baçaim , is a large fort in the town of Vasai in the Palghar district of Maharashtra state in the Konkan division in India. The name Bassein is the English version of the Portuguese Baçaim , itself a version of an apparently native name that may have a connection to the Vasa Konkani tribals of the North Konkan region, extending from Mumbai into South Gujarat. The Marathi name of the place is Vasai. The complete form of the Portuguese name is Fortaleza de São Sebastião de Baçaím or the Fort of St. Sebastian of Vasai. The fort is a monument of national importance and is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.The fort and the town are accessible via the Vasai Road railway station which itself is in Navghar-Manikpur, a part of the city of Vasai-Virar, and lies to the immediate north of the city of Mumbai and Mira Road in Bhayandar. The Vasai Road railway station is on the Western Railway line in the direction of the Virar railway station.
