Description:
About 20 kms from Kannur, right on the Thelichery beach, stands the majestic fort of thalassery. Built in 1708 A.D. on the rocky cliff it was the first settlement of the British East India Company on the western coast. Later the fort became the military centre of the British and now has been transformed into a historical monument. It has a magnificent gate way and a light house and it is surrounded by the Brennen cemetery, St.Rosario church and the sub-collector's bungalow.
