Palace offered to the raja of Kochi in 1555 as compensation for the looting and desecration of a temple by a young Portuguese officer
Built by the Portuguese, the palace was given to the raja of Kochi in 1555, as compensation for the looting and desecration of a temple by an impetuous young Portuguese officer. The extensions on the east and south sides of the palace and the wooden ceilings of the Coronation Hall were added by the Dutch, hence the name of the building. The centerpiece of the palace is its murals; forty-five scenes from the Ramayana adorn the long walls of the bedroom. One can also admire palanquins and portraits of the maharajas of Kochi.
