BASTION BUNGALOW FORT

Kochi, Ernakulam, Kerala, India

Wishlist
Share

In Fort Kochi lies the historic Bastion Bungalow, once a topic of contention between many of the imperial powers who staked their claim over the area. What remained was the Stormberg Bastion, one third in size and it would be remodelled into the mighty Bastion Bungalow that we see today. Its circular structure is so captivating that when the British eventually arrived, they decided to leave that part of the original building untouched. Today it houses the Sub Collector's Office, with its long, open verandas and a tiled roof in geometric patterns attracting tourists from all over the world.
