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.
