The shaded walls of the former British fortress in Thalassery (formerly Tellicherry) in Kerala, India. The East India Company established a trading post here and built the laterite stone fort in 1708, making it one of the oldest British settlements on the subcontinent. Stone figures representing British soldiers can be seen above the gate.
