Kochi |
|
 |
|
Kochi has been luring wanderers and traders for over 600 years and remains a living homage to its varied colonial past. A 16th century synagogue, ancient mosques, Portuguese houses built half millennia ago and the crumbling residuum of the British Raj. The result is an unlikely blend of medieval Portugal, Holland and an English country village grafted on the tropical Malabar cost. In kochi, ernakulam is the hectic transport hub and cosmopolitan heart of kerala.
