The ruins of Alamparai Fort (also called Alampara) lie near Kadappakkam a village 50 km from Mamallapuram on the land overlooking the sea. Constructed in the late 17th century during the Mughal era the Alamparai Fort once had a 100-metre long dockyard stretching into the sea from which zari cloth salt and ghee were exported. During 1735 AD it was ruled by Nawab Doste Ali Khan.
