'''Palayam''' or '''Cantonment''', as it is locally known, one of the busiest localities in [[Thiruvananthapuram]] (also known as [Trivandrum), the capital of [[Kerala State]] in [[India]]. It is home to many of the administrative, cultural, and educational institutions in Kerala.

== History ==
It gets its name from the fact that it used to be camp of the royal army and cavalry of the erstwhile kings of [[Travancore]]. It extended from the Cantonment House in the North up to A.K.G. Centre in the South, including areas now occupied by the University Stadium and Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium. The Army subsequently moved to [[Pangode]]. The cavalry, however, remained at Palayam.

The name "Cantonment" is not much in use for the area, though that name is still associated with the police station near the Secretariat, "Cantonment Police Station". At present, "Cantonment House" serves as the official residence of the Leader of the Opposition.

The [[Palayam Juma Mosque]], [[St. Joseph's Cathedral, Trivandrum|St. Joseph's Latin Cathedral]]<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=http://www.stjosephmetropolitancathedraltrivandrum.org/|title=:: St. Joseph’s Metropolitan Cathedral Palayam Trivandrum ::|website=www.stjosephmetropolitancathedraltrivandrum.org}}</ref> or ''Palayam Palli'' and a temple dedicated to [[Lord Ganesh]] are situated close to each other. The mosque and a temple are side by side, touching each other. The co-existence of these three centres of worship of different religions is quite unique and is a standing example of the religious tolerance and harmony in the state. Today hundreds of devotees offered prayers at the temple. The Friday prayers at the mosque are attended by a fairly high number of people.

St. Joseph's Cathedral<ref name="auto"/> is under the Latin Archdiocese of Thiruvananthapuram .<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latinarchdiocesetrivandrum.org/|title=Trivandrum Catholic Archdiocese|website=www.latinarchdiocesetrivandrum.org}}</ref>

It is a major shopping area of the city. Offices of the [[University of Kerala]], [[Legislative Assembly]], hostel of the Members of the Legislative Assembly, Jubilee Memorial Hospital, [[Connemara Market]] and Saphalyam Shopping Complex are at Palayam.

Restaurants serving Arabian cuisine like [[Shawarma]] and [[Kabsa]] and multi cuisine ones are many in number.
