Day 3: British, late 19th and 20th century period

British supremacy in Kerala started in the mid 17th Century and lasted for the next 200 years until Indian Independence. During this period the British built roads and railways and other forms of infrastructure and opened a number of educational institutions and hospitals throughout the State, connecting it to the rest of the country. 

The Leprosy Hospital built by the Dutch and later maintained by the British is now with the Little Flower School.

Kovilakoms or the palaces where the members of the royal family Cranganore lived are found through the Kodungallur area. Puthan Kovilakom, Chirakkal Kovilakom, Manjeri Kovilakom and Kottoi Kovilakom are some of them. This tour also covers the separate cultural tour about the great scholar Kunhikuttan Thampuran and the freedom fighter Abdul Rahman Sahib.
