    If you want a quiet place to spend time, this one is the best place to go for and it has also some historical things to represent the life of some kings in south India.

    Entry fees is just 5 rs. It was not crowded though. People who like to see antique pieces can visit here. Premises is not maintained well. There is rock sculptures of ancient period like 800 AD. It is placed in open area. Inside the building you can see picture gallery, some old earthen ware, clay toys etc.

  • 5/5 Prabhakar G. 4 years ago on Google
    Heritage museum. Understand that this building is around 500 years old. Actually this was the palace and converted as jail during British Rule period, Umaithurai was jailed here the room is still mailed in his name. Lot of statues are displayed collected across Tirunelveli, which are more than 500 year old. Different types of Communities lived across and their lifestyles also displayed. Some urn during BC also displayed. Totally this will be interesting those who loves history and very helpful for students. Requesting the concerned department to maintain well and hygiene in and around. This is one of the best places of interest in Tirunelveli.
