Cochin
Travel Guide

A
leisurely walk through the city is the best way to discover historic Fort Kochi.
An obscure fishing village that became the first European township in India, Kochi
has an eventful and colourful history. Its reputation as a seafaring commercial
town was such that Nicolas Conti, an Italian traveller of the Middle Ages remarked:
If China is where you make your money, then Kochi surely
is the place to spend it. The town was shaped by the Portuguese, the Dutch
and later the British. The result of these cultural influences are seen in the
many examples of Indo European architecture that still exist here.
