'''Sakthan Thampuran Nagar''' (S.T Nagar) is one of the business districts of [[Thrissur]] city in [[Kerala]] state, [[South India]]. It was named after King of the Cochin, [[Sakthan Thampuran]], the very architect of [[Thrissur]]. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Two decades ago, the place which is now called Sakthan Thampuran Nagar was a vast [[paddy field]]. Due to the arrival of [[Pope John Paul II]], the paddy field was converted to this form. Now it has become a major commercial hub in city. Later, after the departure of [[Pope John Paul II]], then [[Thrissur District]] Collector [[Vinod Rai]] developed and built [[Shaktan Thampuran Private Bus Stand]].<br />
<br />
==Important places==<br />
The second largest private bus station in [[Kerala]] is situated here. S.T Nagar houses several economic and government administrative and private companies' offices (mostly government offices like banks). [[Thrissur Municipal Corporation]] is planning set up a convention centre with a capacity to accommodate 2,000 persons at [[Sakthan Thampuran]] Nagar. The corporation would be setting up a decorated 'Town Square' at [[Sakthan Thampuran]] Nagar. A statue of [[Sakthan Thampuran]], the ruler of the erstwhile princely State of [[Kochi]] who contributed immensely for the development of [[Thrissur]], is erected at the 'Town Square'. <br />
