Description:
The Palakkad Fort dates back to 1766 A.D., the fort is well preserved. Haider Ali of Mysore built it, supposedly to facilitate communication between Coimbatore and the West Coast. In 1784 after a siege lasting eleven days, the British Colonel, Fullerton stormed the Fort. It later fell into the hands of the Zamora's troops but was recaptured by the British in 1790. The Archaeological Survey of India now preserves it.
