a Mathrubhumi initiative

Chennamangalam

 

An ancient church, a temple, a mosque and the remains of a Jewish synagogue - All lying in close proximity is an ideal example of the Indian Tradition of tolerance and peaceful co-existence. Apart from these historic evidences, the place has a singular geography of three rivers, seven inlets, hillocks and vast expanses of green plains.

Once it was the abode of the Paliath Achans, the prime ministers Of the Kochi Maharajas. Their residence, the Paliam Palace represents the architectural splendour of Kerala. The hillocks at Kottayi Kovilakom present an unusual view of the church, temple, mosque and the synagogue.

Also interesting is a visit to the remains of the Vypeenkotta Seminary, Built in the 16th Century by the Portuguese.
