Kochi, the most developed city in Kerala was once little more than a fishing hamlet. It was a flood that changed Kochi’s destiny. As the great flood transformed Kochi into a natural harbor. The rich aroma of spices and sandalwood drew a large number of sailors from different parts of the world to Kochi through these bewitching shores.

Kochi is the only place that was under the possession of so many rulers. From time immemorial Arab, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, and British left their mark on the city. Portuguese was the first Europeans to land in Kochi. Then came the Dutch and finally the British who took over the control of Kochi and ruled for a long time.
