Resturants Near Thangassery Light House
Kollam , Kerala, India
The Thangassery Light House stands as a towering, striped sentinel over the Arabian Sea, representing a significant piece of Kollam's colonial and maritime heritage. At an impressive height of over 42 meters (138 feet), it is one of the tallest lighthouses on the Kerala coast and an unmissable landm ark. The current structure, which replaced an earlier beacon, was completed by the British in 1902, though records indicate a beacon has existed at this location since 18th century. The lighthouse is characterized by its distinctive red and white bands and the powerful lamp at the top, which can be seen for miles. The area around the lighthouse, known as Thangassery, was historically a major trading and military post for the Portuguese, the Dutch, and finally the British, leading to a wealth of colonial history encapsulated within a small coastal village. Visiting the lighthouse involves a climb of around 200 winding steps, but the reward is a breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic view of the Kollam city, the vast expanse of the Arabian Sea, the surrounding fishing villages, and the entry point of the Ashtamudi Lake system. This vantage point offers a unique perspective on the city's geographical layout, showing the transition from the bustling urban center to the tranquil backwaters and the open ocean. It is a site of both architectural importance and immense scenic beauty, attracting history enthusiasts and sightseers alike. The atmosphere is generally quiet and reflective, allowing visitors to ponder the countless ships and historical events the towering beacon has silently witnessed over the past century. Its light remains fully functional, guiding mariners to safety, making it a living, historical monument and an active part of India's coastal infrastructure.
