Cochin is also referred to as the Gateway to Kerala.
Later proceed for sightseeing.
Fort
Cochin -Cochin is a busy port round the year and one can
always see merchant ships anchored in the sea off Fort Cochin
awaiting berth. A familiar sight here is a fisherman using nets
with Chinese contraptions. These nets can be found at the entrance
to the harbor along the backwaters. Strung out along the tip
of the island are the fixed, cantilevered Chinese Fishing Nets.
These nets were introduced by traders from the court of Kublai
Khan.
Mattancherry
Palace - built by the Portuguese in 1555, the palace was
presented to the Raja of Cochin, Veer Kerala Varma (1537-61),
as a gesture of goodwill and probably as a means of securing
trading privileges. The Palace was renovated by the Dutch in
1663, hence the alternate name of 'Dutch Palace', and though
at no time did the Dutch actually stay there! It is a two-storey
building that surrounds a courtyard containing a Hindu temple.
At the centre of the palace is the Coronation Hall that has
a display of dresses, turbans, palanquins and weapons from that
era.
Jewish
Synagogue - located at Mattancherry, this synagogue built
in 1568 by the prosperous Jewish community, is the oldest in
India. It was partially destroyed by the Portuguese in the war

alike.
