Alamparai Fort - History details

Constructed in the late 17th century during the Mughal era, Alamparai Fort once served as a bustling seaport for exporting zari cloth, salt, and ghee. Located near Kadapakkam on the Coromandel Coast, it was gifted to the French in 1750 and later demolished by the British in 1760. Today, its ruins overlooking the Bay of Bengal narrate tales of maritime trade and colonial conflicts amid serene coastal beauty.
