St. Angelo Fort, Coastal fort in Kannur, India.
The triangular fort constructed of laterite stones features three substantial bastions, a lighthouse, and ancient cannons facing the Arabian Sea.
Portuguese Viceroy Don Francesco de Almeida established the fort in 1505, followed by Dutch control in 1663 and British possession in 1790.
The fort represents the intersection of Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial influences while serving as a central point for maritime trade routes.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains the fort, which remains open to visitors from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM every day.
The fort walls provide views of Moppila Bay's natural harbor, where waves from the Arabian Sea meet protected inland waters.
