Palace offered to the raja of Kochi in 1555 as compensation for the looting and desecration of a temple by a young Portuguese officer

Built by the Portuguese, the palace was given to the raja of Kochi in 1555, as compensation for the looting and desecration of a temple by an impetuous young Portuguese officer. The extensions on the east and south sides of the palace and the wooden ceilings of the Coronation Hall were added by the Dutch, hence the name of the building. The centerpiece of the palace is its murals; forty-five scenes from the Ramayana adorn the long walls of the bedroom. One can also admire palanquins and portraits of the maharajas of Kochi.

Si l'architecture extérieure présente peu d'intérêt la visite du musée mérite le détour surtout que le prix d'entrée RS5 est insignifiant. Entre autre très belles fresques.

L'intérieur du bâtiment est très beau (surtout les boiseries et les toiles). L'histoire de Kochi est très riche et ce musée permet de bien comprendre les différentes époques et pourquoi kochi est un carrefour culturel qui a de nombreuses facettes et influences. Petit musée avec beaucoup de lecture et peu interactif mais j'ai été contente de le visiter et de comprendre l'histoire de cette partie de l'Inde qui m'a enchantée

Le palais mérite une visite pour admirer ses belles peintures et les plafonds travaillés. La visite est parfois un peu longue mais intéressante pour en apprendre davantage sur Fort Kochi et son histoire.
Le prix de la visite est si modeste que pourquoi s'en priver !
