Tellicherry Fort, Colonial fort in Thalassery, India
The square fortress rises 10 meters high with laterite block walls, containing strong flanking bastions and tunnels extending toward the sea.
The British East India Company constructed this fortification in 1708 to establish military control over their trading operations on the Malabar Coast.
The fort grounds became a center for cricket matches between European settlers and local teams, introducing the sport to the Malabar region.
Visitors can reach the fort by taking a train to Thalassery Railway Station, located 900 meters from the monument entrance.
The fortress structure includes secret underground passages that connect directly to the Arabian Sea, used for emergency escapes during conflicts.
