which was constructed in 1505, is a symbol of Portuguese architecture and attracts plenty of tourists.
The Thalassery Fort is an important tourist centre. Kannur beach and Ezhimala are known for scenic
beauty. Places of historic importance, like the house of Gulldert, who composed the first Malayalm-
English Dictionary and the mosque at Madayi constructed in 1124, using marble brought from
Mecca attract many tourists.

Fort St. Angelos
Fort St. Angelos is in the west of
Kannur town. It was built in 1505
by the first Portuguese Viceroy,
Don Francisco De Almeida, with
the permission of the Kolathiris,
