Ratnagiri has two large Buddhist monasteries that flourished from the 6th to 12th C. Now in ruins, the monasteries feature an elaborately carved gate and the remnants of a stupa.
The seashore of Ratnagiri has black sand and the nearby area of Bhagvati Fort has white sand so the sea in this area is named as Black and White Sea.
Ratnagiri was also the birthplace of freedom fighter, Bal Gangadhar Tilak. His home, Tilak Smarak, is now a landmark.
Fort Ratnadurg, or Bhagvati Fort, is surrounded by sea and within the walls is temple called Bhagwati. The ancient temple is very famous and comes alive during the Navratra festival.
