The Tellicherry fort over looking the sea, raises to height of 10m and it is oblong on pian. It was built out of [[laterite]] blocks with high round holed walls and strong flanking bastions. The small redoubts on most of the out playing hills have long since disappeared, but Tellicherry fort is in fair state of preservation. The square fort, with its massive walls, strong flanking bastions, secret [[tunnel]]s to the sea and intricately carved huge doors, is an imposing structure. A light house marks the site of an old redoubt. The fort was once the nucleus of Thalassery's development. Tellicherry was also famous for the cricket match played between the Europeans and local teams in the town near the seashore, which used to attract enormous crowds during those days. This is a centrally protected monument under the control of [[Archaeological Survey of India]] since 1921. | The Tellicherry fort over looking the sea, raises to height of 10m and it is oblong on pian.
