Proceed for a half day city tour of Kochi city visiting Chinese Fishing Nets, St. Francis Church, Santa Cruz Basilica, Jewish Synagogue, and Mattancherry Palace / Dutch Palace.

Jewish Synagogue (closed on Friday & Saturday) – built in 1568, almost 1500 years after the beginning of the Jewish connection with Kerala. It was built on the land, adjacent to the Mattancherry Palace, given by the erstwhile king of Cochin. The synagogue, the oldest in the Commonwealth, was built by the Jewish community of Cochin.

Dutch Palace – also known as Mattancherry Palace was built and gifted by the Portuguese as a present to the king of Cochin around 1545. The palace was built to appease the king after they plundered a temple nearby. The landing of Vasco da Gama, the Portuguese explorer at Kappad in 1498 was welcomed by the Kochi rulers. They were given exclusive right to construct factories.

The Portuguese repulsed the repeated attacks of the Zamorians and the Cochin Rajas practically became vassals of the Portuguese. The influence of the Portuguese were supplanted by the Dutch and they took over Mattancherry in 1663. Subsequently, the area was taken over by Hyder Ali and later by the British Est India Company.

Later proceed to visit St. Francis Church and Santa Cruz basilica. St. Francis Church – Saint Francis Church, in Fort Kochi, originally built in 1503, is one of the oldest European churches in India and has great historical significance as a witness to the European colonial ambitions in the subcontinent.
