WELCOME TO YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
The Young Men's Christian Association is a standing testimony to the power of true Christian values that transcends the narrow confines of geography, politics, colour, faith and language. A movement that was started in London by a 23 year old Englishman who felt that it was the duty of Christian young men to witness in practical ways to their faith in the sphere of their daily life, had surpassed the expectations of its pioneers even during their life time. When Sir. George Williams and his friends planted the seeds of the YMCA in 1844 in London, would they have ever imagined that a few decades later, in 1886 and thousands of kilometers away, a small town named Thrissur in the small princely state of Cochin (remember Kerala was not formed until 1956) would have a YMCA of its own! It is even more interesting to know that Sir. George Williams died only in 1905, and the National Council of YMCAs of India was formed only in 1891. Truly, the YMCA of Thrissur has a history that is unique in many ways.

The YMCA Youth Center shall be equipped to host a wide range of programs from national and international level conferences, receptions, youth meets and other big and small meetings. What adds special value to the place is its aesthetic beauty, with the calm and serene atmosphere, surrounded by the lush green Peechi hills. The Centre is far enough to be away from the din of the urban jungle but close enough for access to modern facilities for any requirements.

Situated close to the famous Vadakkumnathan Temple in Thrissur, the Shakthan Thampuran Palace formerly known as Vadakkechira Kovilakam was renovated by Shakthan Thampuran in its present form. The palace, built in the Dutch and Kerala style of architecture belongs to the few structures of this kind in Kerala. The main structure of the palace has a two-storeyed building and a traditional Kerala style Naalukettu.
At the heart of Thrissur lies its famous zoo, with a legacy and heritage that dates all the way back to 1885. Open on all days except Mondays, one is instantly enamored by the wide variety of wild animals and birds housed here. You can visit the zoo and get an experience of travelling into a wild haven.
The art museum, situated at Thirssur, displays collections of wood carvings, metal sculptures, ancient jewellery, stone figurines and some Chinese and Japanese artefacts. A sample of kodakallu (umbrella stone), or prehistoric dolmen spotted around many places in Thirssur, can also be seen in the museum. The kodakallu was a secondary burial site.
The Archaeological Museum was until recently accommodated in the Kollengode Palace building. Now it has been shifted to the Shakthan Thampuran Palace, a landmark in the annals of the Perumpadappu Swaroopam, the former ruling dynasty of Kochi. The majestic building houses a gallery of murals from all over Kerala and preserves a rare treasure of Veerakallu, temple models, olagrandhangal (manuscripts on dry palm leaves), megaliths etc.
