Explore the ancient port of Muziris, a heritage project with over 25 museums, palaces, and excavation sites revealing Kerala's rich trade history.
The Muziris Heritage Project is not a single location but a vast historical region spread across parts of Ernakulam and Thrissur districts. It's an initiative to conserve and showcase the remains of the ancient port city of Muziris, which was a major hub for the spice trade with civilizations like the Romans, Greeks, and Arabs over 2000 years ago. Visitors experience a journey through time by exploring a circuit of more than 25 different sites. Key locations include the Pattanam archaeological site, where excavations have unearthed historical artifacts, and several well-preserved museums like the Paliam Palace and Paliam Nalukettu, which display the lifestyle of powerful local families.
