A Peep Into Kozhikoden History
Kozhikode was once the capital of the powerful Zamorins. It was here at Kappad (16km) that Vasco da Gama first landed in 1498. Later, the Dutch, the French and the British came to this shorelines for trade. Kozhikode still maintains its commercial traditions, as cargo steamers visit the port even today. This town is famous for its boat building yard, timber industry and historic temples and churches.
