Indo-Portuguese Museum

A small museum located in the heart of fort kochi. Has a small piece of our history.

A small museum showcases old heritage material belonging to Portuguese time. It's opposite St. John De Brito and near Victory Dawn, Kochi - amã Stays & Trails and on the way to Fort Kochi beach. The open parking ground is there outside this museum, free parking is available. Attaching only notes on a few belongings.
