Vasco da Gama Square
Vasco da Gama Square
Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala, the last port of Vasco Da Gama, where
you will find synagogues, mosques, churches and temples side by side, is a place
with a fascinating history.
The huge cantilevered fishing net, the Chinese fishing nets, seen here is a
legacy of its spellbinding past. The nets, set up on teak and bamboo poles,
were brought by one of the first visitors to the Malabar Coast, the traders
from the court of Kublai Khan.
An ideal place to watch fishermen use these nets is the Vasco da Gama square,
a narrow promenade along the beach. The square, which has numerous stalls serving
fresh delicious seafood, tender coconut and so on, is also perfect for a nice,
relaxed evening.
