A complex pulley mechanism, the clock is marked by a face of a bearded man on its dial and sheep on either side of the cheeks. An amusing feature of the clock is that as the clock strikes an hour, the sheep hit the side of the man's face, with the sound of a clock chime.

Today, the Secretariat, as it is commonly known, comprises important by Peter Fristedt ministerial offices and 32 departments of the Kerala government. The structure is divided into three parts, namely, South Block, Central Block and the North Block, of which the central block is the oldest, while the other blocks on either side were added to accommodate the offices of the ministers.

Palayam PMG Road, Thiruvananthapuram Madre de Deus Church "Church of the King" Madre de Deus Church is an important Catholic pilgrim center set in a backdrop of the turbulent and beautiful Arabian Sea along the road to Veli. The history of the church is traced back to the middle of the 16th Century and was made popular with the visit of the renowned Christian missionary St. Francis Xavier. The church in its present form was built in 1936 and is also known as Vettukad Church. The popularity of the church is owed to the 10-day 'Feast Of Christ, The King' celebration that takes place in the month of November. Activities during the celebrations include a procession of hundreds of people covering the entire parish on the second last day with the image of Christ. A grand feast on the last day of the celebration attracts more than 50,000 people of all creeds from across the world.

The value of such buildings and precincts are to be bought to the notice of the general public suitably. Lack of efforts in this regard is the major reason for the increasing trend in demolishing such buildings. Once a heritage monument is lost it will be an irreparable loss forever. Spoiling the heritage buildings will amount to a crime committed to the posterity. The Kerala State Town and Country Planning Department has made an attempt to identify the buildings and precincts having heritage value throughout the State as per the advice of the Art and Heritage Commission. The information gathered from the capital district as part of this is now being released as an initial step. It gives pleasure that the book reveals a number of heritage properties around us, which we are ignorant about. Let this book create awareness among the public regarding some of the existing remnants of the historic, cultural and architectural importance of the district.
