Resturants Near Hill Palace Museum

Kochi , Kerala, India
The Hill Palace Museum in Tripunithura, near Kochi, stands as a monumental testament to the opulent past of the Cochin royal family. Constructed in 1865 AD, this magnificent complex served as the Imperial Administrative Office and the official residence of the Maharaja of Cochin. Today, it holds the distinction of being the largest archaeological museum in Kerala, encompassing a sprawling campus of 54 acres of terraced land. The complex features 49 distinct buildings built in the traditional architectural style of Kerala, offering a rare glimpse into the region's royal heritage and artistic legacy. The museum's collection is vast and varied, comprising 14 categories of exhibits. These include priceless artifacts such as the crowns and majestic ornaments of the royal family, sculptures made of stone and marble, ancient coins, samples of epigraphy (inscriptions), historical weapons, and a stunning gallery of oil paintings and murals. Beyond the palace buildings, the expansive grounds are home to a Deer Park, a Pre-historic Park, a Heritage Museum, and a children's park, making it an educational and recreational destination. The entire campus is also a sanctuary for several rare species of medicinal plants. The palace was handed over to the Government of Kerala in 1980 and, after extensive renovation by the State Archaeology Department, was opened to the public as a museum in 1991. Its historical significance and cinematic beauty (it was the location for the famous Malayalam film 'Manichitrathazhu') ensure it remains a must-visit spot in Kochi.
