About
A unique peninsula neighbourhood in Kochi blending Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial layers with Kerala tradition. Chinese fishing nets at sunset, Jew Town spice bazaars, St. Francis Church (Vasco da Gama's original tomb), and the contemporary Kochi-Muziris Biennale make it extraordinary.
