Thalaserry
fort, located at a distance of 22 kms from Kannur
constructed in 1708 AD was the military centre of the British.
In 1708 AD, when the British East India Company established its
settlement on the Malabar Coast, they built the Thalaserry Fort, as a
testimonial to their colonial imperialism.
The square fort, with its massive walls, secret tunnels to the sea and
intricately carved huge doors, is an imposing structure. The fort was once
the nucleus of Thalaserry's development.
It is now a historical monument. The Sports Authority Of India Gymnastic
Centre, an old Muslim mosque, the Jagannatha Temple and Thiruvangadi Sree
Rama Swami temple are other attractions nearby.
