Kuttichira Tourism

Kuttichira is a picturesque locality situated in the heart of Kozhikode (Calicut) city in Kerala, India. Rich in cultural heritage, it is known for its ancient mosques, including the much-revered Mishkal Mosque, built by the Arab merchant Nakhooda Mishkal in the 14th century. This mosque is a fine specimen of the architectural amalgamation of Arab and Kerala styles and is famous for its intricate wooden carvings and unique design without a dome. Kuttichira's unique charm lies in its narrow lanes, old-world architecture, and communal harmony among its residents. This area is reflective of the city's historical connection with Arab traders and their influence on the local culture and architecture. The locality is also close to other historical landmarks like the Kozhikode Beach, and the bustling Sweet Meat Street (SM Street) known for its shops and commerce. Visitors to Kuttichira can immerse themselves in its rich past, while also enjoying the simplistic beauty of the old buildings and the serene environment that resonates with the call for prayers from the mosques.
