The Portuguese built their first fort in India in 1503 AD at Fort Kochi in Kochi, Kerala:
Fort Emmanuel: Also known as Fort Manuel, this fort was built by Portuguese viceroy Afonso de Albuquerque. The local maharaja of Kochi granted the Portuguese permission to build the fort. It was a large structure that included an entire township and helped strengthen the Portuguese occupation of the area. The fort was reinforced in 1538 and is now in ruins at Fort Kochi Beach.
