Upon arrival in Kochi, you visit the Mattancherry – home to people of different languages and ethnic identities. Churches, agraharams, mosques and a synagogue coexist in the area, alongside colonial-era buildings, witnesses to a vibrant past and a harmonious present.
Chinese Nets – Chinese nets made of teak and bamboo work on the principle of balance. Each structure, about 10 m high, is fixed to the beach and has a cantilever with attached net that extends over an area of about 20 meters.
Rue des Juifs – You can choose from trinkets, antique dishes, carved wooden furniture, bronze and brass sculptures, remains of traditional houses and jewellery. The antique dealers love to chat and keep you informed about the origins of the objects and their shops. Their lives are colourful memories of a once strong community whose numbers have dwindled considerably over the years.
The Synagogue – T he Paradesi Synagogue, in a corner of the Jew Town, is over a hundred years old and houses many rare antiques. The synagogue, which attracts many visitors, adds to the old-world charm of Mattancherry.
Dutch Palace – Although the Dutch Palace is called so, it was built by the Portuguese. What the Dutch did was only a cosmetic restoration and repair. In the early decades of the 16th century, the Portuguese had looted many temples in Kochi. In 1555, they built the palace and presented it to King Veera Kerala Varma in the hope of establishing trade relations with the kingdom. When the Dutch arrived in Kochi much later, they renovated the building.
The Santa Cruz Cathedral Basilica in Fort Kochi, Kochi is one of the nine basilicas in Kerala. Considered as one of the historical buildings of Kerala, this church is one of the most beautiful and impressive churches in India and visited by tourists throughout the year. It is a place of devotion as well as a centre of historical importance, endowed with architectural and artistic grandeur and the colours of the Gothic style.
Dhobi Khana is where the Tamil speaking Vannan community do laundry work, a traditional occupation of the community. This practice of the Vannan community dates back to the colonial period. The story goes that the Vannans were brought by the King of Kochi from Coimbatore and Tirunelveli to wash the military uniforms of the Portuguese or the Dutch. In 1975.
