Kanakakunnu palace



Kanakakunnu palace attracts a lot of tourist from all over the world.
Situated in the centre of Trivandrum city, it is one of the most beautiful buildings. The palace and its huge ground is a platform for many cultural meets.
The Kanakakunnu Palace was constructed in the reign of the Travancore King, Hiss Highness Sree Moolam Tirunal (1885-1924). The Palace was the main venue for Royal banquets. Later Hiss Highness Sree Chithira Tirunal modified the Palace and constructed tennis courts in the palace premises. This stunning piece of architectural excellence was used by the Travancore royal family to entertain their guests in the earlier days. The interiors are decorated with large crystal chandeliers and exquisite pieces of royal furniture.
In our point of view it’s a nice place to have a rest, breath fresh air, nice place to refresh our minds. We can enjoy the royal architectures pretty well there.
