ARAKKAL MUSEUM

About

Kannur’s rich and vibrant landscape is host to the great Arakkal Kettu museum, former residence of the only Muslim royal family in Kerala, the Arakkal Ali Rajas. It is an architectural marvel and you can get transported to a different era, with heirlooms and artifacts of their reign adorning the entire building. Now under the purview of the Archaeological and Tourism Department, it is a must-visit site in the district and it helps one gain an understanding of the cultural diversity that helped shape its current form.
