It is situated around 3 km from Kannur. The laterite fort
was constructed in 1505 AD by the first Portuguese
Viceroy, Don Francisco De Almeda with the consent of the
ruling Kolathiri Raja. After changing hands from the
Portuguese to the Dutch, and then to the Ali Raja of
Arakkal and finally to the English, the fort became one of
the important military centres of the British in Malabar.
The barracks, the arsenal, cannons and the ruins of a
chapel are all standing testimony of history on the sea
shore. This fort is more commonly known as 'Kannur Kota' (Kannur
Fort). The fort, is now under the supervision of the
Archaeological Survey of India. Facing the Arabian sea,
the fort gives an excellent view of the palm fringed
beach, the Moppila Bay fishing harbour. 
Valapattanam
(7 km from Kannur): The small town also known as
Baliapattom, on the Valapattanam river is well known for its
wood-based industries and timber trade. The port of Azhikkal
and Azhikkal Beach are located nearby. Western India Plywoods
Limited, the largest wood-based industry in the country and
also one of the largest of its kind in South East Asia, is a
major industrial concern here.
