Aluva Palace in Aluva is on the banks of the Periyar River. The palace has seen numerous battles and successions, and it has been part of the splendor and heritage of the ancient past of Kerela.
The palace has beautiful sprawling garden in front of it.
Its architectural style is very unique and is in the traditional style of architecture seen mostly in this part of the world.
The circular balconies of Aluva Palace give a spectacular view of the river.
The palace has beautiful artifacts inside the palace. The wooden stair case inside the palace is very neatly crafted. The lovely palace building is presently being used as the Aluva Guest House.
