The demographic set up of the City provides an example of peaceful co-existence of different communities. The city is built around a rising ground on the apex of which is the oldest and largest [[Temple|Hindu Temple]] complex in the state, the [[Vadakunnathan temple]] complex, famous since the 8th century AD.<br /> <br /> The temple and the surrounding open area (called [[Thekkinkaadu Maidan]]), measuring about 3.6 hectares, are encircled by a wide circular road called the [[Swaraj Round]]. Like most of the temple cities of the South, the main streets and business houses are located around the temple grounds. There are a number of other famous temples in the city. [[Thrissur]] has achieved the honour of the city with the tallest church in [[Asia]].<br /> <br /> ==Hindu temples in the city==<br /> *[[Vadakkum Natha Temple]] : Non-Hindus are not allowed to enter this temple, which is also known as the Rishabhadri or Thenkailasam (Kailash of the South). This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple complex also has a number of small shrines within it, dedicated to different deities, apart from the main Vadakkunathan Temple. The temple is known for its traditional architecture. The richly carved pagoda like wooden rooftop of this temple is an excellent example of the classical architecture of [[Kerala]].<br /> *[[Paramekkaavu Temple]], [[Trichur Round|Round East]]<br /> *[[Thiruvambady Temple]], [[Shornur]] Road<br /> *[[Poonkunnam Siva Temple]], [[Punkunnam]]<br /> *[[Poonkunnam Seetha Ramaswamy Temple]]<br /> *[[Poonkunnam Seetha Ramaswamy Temple]]<br /> *[[Kuttankulangara Sri Krishna Temple]]<br /> * Shree Bhagavathy Temple, [[Olarikara]]<br /> *[[Kuttumuck Siva Temple]]<br /> *[[Kottekkad Temple]] <br /> *[[Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple]]<br /> <br /> ==Churches in the city==<br /> *[[Our Lady of Lourdes Metropolitan Cathedral]]<br /> *[[Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours]]<br /> *[[St. Anthony&#039;s Forane Church]]<br /> *[[Mart Mariam Big Church]]<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {{Thrissur topics}}<br /> <br /> {{Kerala}}<br /> {{Hindu temples in Kerala}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Places Of Worship Near Thrissur}}<br /> [[Category:Religious buildings and structures in Thrissur]]</div>
