Kozhikode or Calicut situated on the Arabian Coast has a long and checkered history.
It was the capital of the powerful Zamorins. Vasco-de-Gama, the first European, landed in India at Kappad near Kozhikode in 1498 A.D.
This city was very rich in spices. Later the Dutch, the French and the British dominated the area thus it became the trading centre for Europeans.
The great travellers like Marco Polo, Ibn Batuta, Abdul Razzak all visited Kozhikode and have described this district as 'perfect harbour'.
