Tiruchirapally (Trichy )

 

Trichy.jpgTiruchirappalli now called Trichy is situated on the banks of the Cauvery river. Trichy, the fourth largest city in the state was a citadel of the early Cholas which later fell to the Pallavas. But the Pallavas never really managed to retain control of this strategic city and lost it to the Pandyas several times.

Tiruchirappalli is known for its Rock Fort and its temple at a height of over 83 metres. Other renowned temples are, the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple ( Srirangam ), Siva temple at Tiruvanaikkaval and the Samayapuram Mariamman Temple.
