Chennamangalam Ernakulam - Location : About 42 km from Ernakulam
town, Ernakulam district, central Kerala.
A church, a temple, a mosque and the remains of a Jewish synagogue
- all lying in close proximity is an ideal example of the ancient
Indian tradition of religious tolerance and peaceful co-existence.
At Chennamangalam, apart from these historic evidences, nature also
unveils her rare combination. The place has a singular geography of
three rivers, seven inlets, hillocks and vast expanses of green plains.
This land was once the abode of the Paliath Achans, the prime ministers
of the Maharajas of Kochi. Their residence, the Paliam Palace represents
the architectural splendour of Kerala. The Palace houses a collection
of historic documents and relics. The hillocks at Kottayi Kovilakom
present an unusual view of the church, temple, mosque and the synagogue.
Also interesting is a visit to the remains of the Vypeenkotta Seminary
built in the 16th century by the Portuguese.
