Mananchira Square is a historical site which has been meticulously converted into a pleasant setting comprising of small hills, beautiful plants & trees, sculptures and shrubs. A realization of a well planned modern city, Mananchira located at the heart of Kozhikode has successfully preserved its history with the modern day innovations to present a charming synthesis.

The area has been developed as an ideal entertainment and leisure destination with musical fountain and open air theatre, musical stage and an artificial stream in place. The name Mananchira was derived from the small pond by the same name which belonged to the regions ruler Manadevan. The place that used to serve as the courtyard of Zamorin rulers now houses everything from Churches, temples, traditional Kerala houses to parks encircling the area. Mananchira has a tank at its center which used to be the private bath of Samuthiris. The huge park actually formed just a part of original royal courtyard. Overall the structure and architectural design gives a glimpse into the opulence and luxury of bygone royal charm.
