शनिवार वाड़ा भारत के महाराष्ट्र के पुणे में स्थित एक दुर्ग है जिनका निर्माण १८वीं सदी में १७४६ में किया था। यह मराठा पेशवाओं की सीट थी। जब मराठाओं ने ईस्ट इंडिया कम्पनी से नियंत्रण खो दिया तो तीसरा आंग्ल-मराठा युद्ध हुआ था तब मराठों ने इसका निर्माण करवाया था। दुर्ग खुद को काफी हद तक आग से १८३८ में नष्ट हो गया था, लेकिन बची संरचनाएं अब एक पर्यटक स्थल के रूप में स्थित है।
कहा जाता है कि शनिवारवाड़ा परिसर सात मंजिला ऊँचा था। शीर्ष तल पर पेशवा का निवास था . जिसे मेघदम्बरी कहा जाता था। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि 17 किमी दूर आलंदी में स्थित जैनेश्वर मंदिर के शिखर को वहां से देखा जा सकता था।
Shaniwarwada is a historical fortification in the city of Pune in Maharashtra, India. Built in 1732, it was the seat of the Peshwas of the Maratha Empire until 1818, when the Peshwas lost control to the British East India Company after the Third Anglo-Maratha War. Following the rise of the Maratha Empire, the palace became the center of Indian politics in the 18th century. The fort itself was largely destroyed in 1828 by an unexplained fire, but the surviving structures are now maintained as a tourist site.
It is said that the Shaniwarwada complex was seven storeys high. On the top floor was the residence of the Peshwa which was called Meghadambari. It is said that the spire of Jñāneśvar temple at Alandi, 17 km away, could be seen from there.
