Reviews Of Bekal Fort
Bekal, Kerala, India
Bekal Fort is the most iconic landmark of Bekal and stands as the largest and most well-preserved fort in the entire state of Kerala. Spanning over 40 acres on a headland that juts into the Arabian Sea, this historical marvel dates back to around 1650 AD, built predominantly by Shivappa Nayaka of th e Keladi dynasty, though its history involves earlier rulers like the Kolathiri Rajas. The fort's strategic location and unique design suggest it was primarily constructed for defense purposes, lacking the palaces or administrative buildings typical of many other forts. Its sheer size and impressive laterite masonry evoke a sense of a glorious bygone era. Visitors are greeted by a zigzag entrance, a well-preserved water tank with steps, and the prominent Observation Tower, which offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the coastline. The sea-facing bastions and the strategically placed defense holes on the outer walls testify to the architectural and military ingenuity of its builders. The fort's captivating beauty, especially during sunrise and sunset, has made it a favorite spot for tourists, history enthusiasts, and even filmmakers, notably featuring in the famous song 'Uyire' from the movie Bombay. The entire area, including the adjacent Bekal Beach, has been developed as a special tourism zone to enhance the visitor experience while preserving its historical integrity. The atmosphere is generally serene, offering a perfect blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty.
