Museum
Mattancherry Palace, commonly called the Dutch Palace, was actually built by the Portuguese around 1550 and presented to the Rajah of Cochin; the Dutch later renovated it. The Archaeological Site Museum contains large Ramayana murals, a coronation hall with royal robes and swords, and a small temple in the central courtyard. The palace temple and the nearby Paradesi Synagogue share a wall, an architectural detail that captures Mattancherry's layered religious history. A stairlift and braille information are available at the entrance.
