The huge cantilevered Chinese fishing nets are the legacy of a visit by Chinese traders. Erected here between 1350 and 1450 AD, by traders from the Court of Kublai Khan, these nets are set up on teak wood and bamboo poles.

This charming mansion was the office of Pierce Leslie & Co, coffee merchants, founded in 1862. A representative of the Fort Cochin Colonial Bungalow, this building reflects Portuguese, Dutch and local influences.

Formerly a boat house, it was built in 1808 for Carrit Moran & Co, renowned tea brokers who now use it as their residence.The Dutch architecture blended finely with the Portuguese tradition to create such a simple, but elegant building.

This magnificent building constructed by Samuel S Koder of the Cochin Electric Company in 1808 is a supreme example of transition from colonial to Indo-European Architecture.
