KERALA CITIES - KANNUR
 

With the Western Ghats in the east (Coorg district of Karnataka State), Kozhikode and Wayanad districts in the south, Lakshadweep sea in the west and Kasaragod in the north, Kannur district is bounded by a wealth of natural beauty. The district itself which shares much of this natural splendour has been a key contributor to the cultural, religious, political and industrial heritage of the State. In addition, Kannur enjoys the credit of having been the cradle of many a colourful folk art and folk music of Kerala

St. Angelo Fort: 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.

 

Arakkal Kettu: Arakkal Kettu is situated 3 km from Kannur. This is a palace of historical significance and was the residence of the former Arakkal Ali Rajas, the only Muslim royal family of Kerala which ruled parts of the coast and Lakshadweep island.
