The Thangassery Fort Ruins, located in Kollam, are remnants of a historic coastal fort that once stood as a symbol of colonial power and maritime importance. Built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the fort later came under the control of the Dutch and the British, reflecting the region’s rich colonial past.

Today, only parts of the fort walls and structures remain, but they continue to narrate stories of trade, defense, and European influence along Kerala’s coastline. Situated near the sea, the ruins offer a scenic and peaceful atmosphere for visitors.

Surrounded by the charm of Thangassery, the site is perfect for those interested in history, photography, and quiet coastal exploration.
