Shakthan Thampuran Palace and Museum

Shakthan Thampuran Palace stands as the former residence of the Kochi royal family in the heart of Thrissur. The sprawling grounds now house an archaeological museum displaying Chola era bronzes, intricate wood carvings, old coins, and stone sculptures gathered from across the region. Wide lawns and heritage architecture make it a peaceful stop for history lovers. The museum offers a window into the erstwhile kingdom's administrative and artistic legacy, set within a quiet urban campus close to the city center.
