Pattanam and Cheraman Parambu

In this tour circuit, tourists can see two important historical sites, which are Pattanam and Cheraman Parambu.

Pattanam: The Pattanam excavations were the first ever multi-disciplinary excavation undertaken in Kerala State. The maritime contacts of this region during the Early Historic period seem to have been extensive, from the evidenced of a large number of Roman amphora sherds, a few terra sigillata sherds, Sassanian, Yemenite and other West Asian potteries.

Cheraman Parambu: The Cheraman Parambu is generally regarded as the royal seat of the Cheraman Perumals, the kings of the Chera dynasty, who ruled Kerala during the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries AD. The Archaeology Department of Cochin discovered some old laterite foundations and remains of walls in this area during its explorations.
