Bekal Fort is the largest fort in the state of Kerala India spreading over 40 acres . An important features of this fort are the water-tank with its flight of steps the tunnel opening towards the south the magazine for keeping ammunition and the broad and wide steps leading to the Observation Tower which is a rarity. The Fort appears to have been built up from the sea since almost three fourth of its exteriors is drenched and the waves continually stroke the citadel. The Mukhyaprana Temple of Hanuman and the ancient Muslim Mosque nearby bear testimony to the age-old religious harmony that prevailed in the area. The zigzag entrance and the trenches around the fort show the defense strategy inherent in the fort.
