The Shiva temple on the wooded hill inside the Swaraj Round — the reason the city is here. An active temple with its own access customs; the circuit outside the wall, across the Thekkinkadu Maidan, is a legitimate visit in itself.

One of the two principal devaswoms of Thrissur Pooram, on the eastern side of the Round — the Paramekkavu side brings its deity before Vadakkunnathan at the festival. A working Bhagavathy temple the rest of the year.

The palace rebuilt in 1795, literally half Dutch and half Kerala in its construction, and the state archaeological museum since 2005. One of the few ticketed sights in a city that mostly is not one.

The Chembukkavu compound keeps the state museum and galleries — the zoo animals moved to the new zoological park at Puthur, open to the public since February 2026. We have not verified current tickets or closing day; check before the walk out.

The old northern tank of the town — its name says exactly that — now a working water body and an evening walkside rather than a ticketed sight.
