Inside of
Vattakottai (or 'Circular Fort')
It was built in the 18th century as a coastal defence-fortification and barracks in the erstwhile Travancore kingdom.
The fort is made of granite blocks and, today, a part of the fort extends into the sea. It is a protected site under the Indian archaeological department. A major renovation of the fort has been undertaken recently by the department, and the site is now a popular tourist spot.
