Dutch Palace Pond, Mattancherry, Kochi, Kerala 682002
Though known as the Dutch Palace, it was actually built by the Portuguese. The Dutch only made modifications to it. The Portuguese who looted and plundered most of the region at the beginning of the 16th century, in a bid to establish commercial ties with the royal dynasty, built a palace and gifted it to the King Veera Kerala Varma. Though the Dutch made improvements to it, like the Portuguese, they too did not stay in it. This later became the official residence of the Kochi dynasty. Important functions of the Kochi dynasty were held in the Dutch Palace.

Carry a piece of bread and feed the fish. It is a delight to watch the fish jump to catch the food.
