Ein Stück Geschichte

Pune's heritage dates back to the 8th century, but it flourished under the Maratha Empire in the 18th century when it served as the seat of the Peshwas. The heritage walk traces this legacy, highlighting sites like Shaniwar Wada (built in 1732) and the surrounding Peth areas, which were planned neighborhoods from that era.
