Koyilandy Overview
Koyilandy is a municipality and a taluk situated in the Kozhikode district of Kerala on the Malabar Coast of India. The historical town functions centrally along the coast of the Kozhikode district, positioned between Kozhikode and Kannur on National Highway 66.

In ancient times, the port town—formerly known as Panthalayani Kollam—served as a vital trading nexus between the Cheras and the Roman Empire. During the early Middle Ages, cultural and religious interactions deepened as Koyilandy became home to early Islamic infrastructure, including a mosque featuring an Old Malayalam inscription from the 10th century CE that documents patronage by a Hindu king to the local Muslim community. Remnants of historical Chinese trade exchanges also persist in and around the area, encompassing sites such as a Chinese Mosque and local settlement names.
