| Magnetic Observatory |

Alibaug
has a lot to offer by way of tourist spots. The most talked about of these are
the different-from-the-usual Magnetic Observatory and the Kanhoji Angre
Samadhi.
Established
in 1904, the Magnetic Observatory is the only one of its kind in Asia and one of only 13 in the entire world, with whom
data is exchanged every 12 minutes. The building echoes the British style of
architecture and houses rare valuable instruments like a magnetograph, which is
built only in stone, with no steel used. The Observatory records magnetic
movement in the earth's' crust and also magnetic storms caused by solar storms.
A destination of pride for the Indians, the Magnetic Observatory stands apart for
being unique.
