Vasai (Bassein), India

Vasai (English: /ˈvɑːseɪ ), historically known as Bassein or Baçaim, is a historical place and important city in Mumbai's western suburbs. It also forms a part of Vasai-Virar city in the state of Maharashtra in the Konkan division in India. Vasai was in the Thane district prior to 2014.The Portuguese built the Bassein Fort here to strengthen their naval superiority over the Arabian Sea. The fort was taken over by the Maratha Army in 1739, ending the Battle of Baçaim. The British then took over the territory from the Maratha Empire in 1780 during the First Anglo-Maratha War.
As a legacy of Portuguese colonialism, East Indian Catholics form a small minority of the population.
