Antique print of the Fortress Cranganor, nowadays known by the name Kodungallor. French and Dutch title including scale and compass rose. This print originates from 'L'Histoire générale des Voyages' by Antoine François Prévost.
Fort Cranganore (Fortaleza São Tomé), known locally as Kottappuram Fort/Tipu's Fort, was constructed in Kodungallur by Portuguese in 1523. The fort was enlarged in 1565, and passed into the hands of the Dutch in 1663. Thiruvanchikulam Mahadeva Temple, dedicated to the god Siva, is one of the major Siva temples in South India. Siva in the Thiruvanchikulam temple was the patron deity of the Chera Perumals of Kerala and remains the family deity of the Cochin Royal Family. (source wikipedia)
