Once a flourishing port, today Kochi is a major metropolis in the southern Indian state of Kerala. This city is a mixture of many cultures. During the colonial era, it was first occupied by the Portuguese, then the Dutch and finally the British. It is no surprise that this city is packed with plenty of historical attractions.
