Fort Kochi

Fort Kochi is a historic town in the Kochi area of Kerala. It has retained many specimens of the bygone era which is a must-visit for you if you are a history buff. Fort Immanuel built in 1503 as a symbol of the strategic alliance which existed between the Maharaja of Cochin and the Monarch of Portugal is a structure of historical importance. You will also come across the Dutch cemetery. Consecrated in 1724 and managed by the Church of South India, the tomb stones here silently remind visitors of those Europeans who left their homeland to expand their colonial empires.
