Kerala, in southern India, contains the coastal city of Kannur. It was
formerly a port used for trading. The city's significant involvement in the spice trade is demonstrated
by enduring structures like the 16th-century St. Angelo Fort, which was formerly held by European
colonial forces. The Arakkal Museum, located in a historic palace, showcases Kerala's sole Muslim royal
dynasty. Along Kannur's western side, the sands of Payyambalam Beach are lined with palm trees.
According to legend, it has engaged in interactions and trade with the rest of the globe going back to King Solomon's time with the Greeks, Arabs, and Romans. It boasts numerous forts, temples, beaches, and wildlife reserves that draw tourists daily. This is one of the best destinations in Kerala to spend your holiday because it has significant festivals and activities all year round.
Why Visit Kannur?
Kannur, which is rich in peculiar native art forms like Theyyam, still exudes a sense of the past colonial age. The town is still heavily influenced by the Dutch, Portuguese, British, and Mysore Sultanate, and these influences can be seen everywhere. The town is endowed with outstanding weaving talent, earning it the nickname "the land of loons" and "giant cashew trees," which may have been planted by Portuguese settlers. While visiting Kannur, go for a stroll in the evening near the lighthouse beach or learn about Portuguese history at St. Angelo's Fort.
