kannur Fort

A place that associates itself with Hindu God, Lord Krishna and the great King Solomon who stopped here to collect timber to be used for the construction of the Temple of the Lord at Jerusalem. The latter connection with King Solomon finds mention in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, an ancient Greek work. To add to this is the praiseworthy remarks of the renowned traveller, Marco Polo, who called it a "great emporium of spice trade".
