About Kozhikōde
Once a famed maritime hub where merchants from around the world gathered, Kozhikode earned the title “City of Spices” in the Middle Ages. Renowned as a major center for the trade of Eastern spices, this historic port attracted Arab, Chinese, and East African traders in search of its rich offerings. Its prominence on the global stage grew when Vasco da Gama arrived here on 20 May 1498, opening new trade routes between Europe and the Malabar coast. Even today, the bazaars, narrow streets, and marketplaces echo with stories from that illustrious past. Blending its deep-rooted maritime heritage with modern charm, this lively district now offers a distinctive and memorable experience.
