Travel Tips Of St. Angelo Fort
Kannur, Kerala, India
Sub Place Details: St. Angelo Fort, also known as Kannur Fort, is a magnificent laterite structure that stands as a silent witness to the colonial history of India. Built in 1505 by Dom Francisco de Almeida, the first Portuguese Viceroy of India, the fort is situated on a cliff overlooking the Arabi an Sea. Its strategic location made it a prized possession for various European powers. Over the centuries, the fort changed hands from the Portuguese to the Dutch in 1663, who modernized the structure and added bastions. Later, in 1772, it was sold to the Arakkal royal family, the only Muslim royalty in Kerala. The British eventually captured it in 1790 and used it as one of their primary military stations on the Malabar Coast. Today, it is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The fort offers a panoramic view of Mappila Bay, a natural fishing harbor, and the vast Arabian Sea. Inside the fort, visitors can explore the old barracks, ammunition storehouses, a lighthouse, and a chapel. The well-maintained gardens and the cool sea breeze make it a popular spot for both history buffs and casual strollers. The fort's walls are steeped in stories of battles, imprisonment, and trade, making it an essential stop for anyone wanting to understand the colonial fabric of North Kerala. It remains one of the best-preserved coastal forts in the country, blending European military architecture with the rugged beauty of the Kerala coastline.:

Tourism Tips

Sub Place Tourism Tips:

Health and Safety: The ramparts do not always have high railings; be extremely careful when walking near the edges, especially with children.

Packing: Wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock as there is very little shade on the fort walls.

Accommodation: Since it is near the city center, stay at any of the hotels in Kannur Town.

Cash and Connectivity: Credit cards are usually not accepted for entry tickets, so carry small cash. Network connectivity is excellent.

Respect the Site: Do not litter or deface the ancient walls, as it is a protected heritage site. Check for ongoing renovations as some parts might be restricted.:
