After the collapse of the legendary ancient port called Muziris on the coast of Malabar, which was a major hub for global trade in India visited by traders across the world, including Arabs, Jews, Romans, Greeks, and Chinese, Cochin emerged as one of the major ports of trade in Kerala during the medieval period. Travellers such as Ibn Battuta and Ma Huan also visited the port of Kochi during this time. “If China is where you make your money, then Cochin is surely the place to spend it," the famed Italian traveller and merchant Niccolò Da Conti said about Cochin.
