Cochin
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 developed
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.
