Bombay Castle Bombay Castle ( also Casa da Orta ) is one of the oldest defensive structures built in the city of Mumbai ( formerly Bombay ) .

Orta had leased the island of Bombay from the King of Portugal between 1554 and 1570 . The castle was built of local blue Kurla stone and red laterite stone from the Konkan region to the south . In 1662 , after the islands came under the hands of the English , the East India Company took possession of the castle in 1665 . Over the next ten years , they built a defensive structure around the manor . Around the same time , a wall was being built around a new urban centre . The wall was later demolished in 1865 after the city grew rapidly . Fragments of this wall however still exist in some areas . Few records of the original Portuguese castle remain and historians are trying to piece together the original location of the manor . Two gates of the manor are located within " INS Angre " , a naval station in South Mumbai . A sundial thought to date back to the Portuguese era is also present . This sundial does not mark out the 12 hours of a day , but marks out certain periods which are deemed to be important to people of those days . The main building within this castle is the Governor ' s House ( Raj Bhavan ) in which Gerald Aungier , the first Governor of Bombay used to stay . The residence was later moved to Parel and then to Malabar Hill over the next two centuries . The current building houses the offices of the Flag Officer Commander - in - Chief of the Western Naval Command .

Otto , allied with Otto I , Duke of Swabia and Bavaria , marched first on Passau , held by the rebels . In September , the town surrendered due to his siege tactics , which included a bridge of boats . At the Easter court of 978 , at Magdeburg , the three insurrectionists were punished . Both dukes were banished and Henry of Carinthia lost his duchy to Otto , son of Conrad the Red , Duke of Lorraine . The bishop was imprisoned until July .
