Pizhala is an island village, one among the fourteen islands of Kadamakkudy archipelago, located near to the main land of the city Ernakulam. The island is surrounded by tributaries of river Periyar. Pizhala island is part of Kadamakkudy village of Kanayannur taluk in Ernakulam district in the state of Kerala, India. Pizhala island was formed during the great floods of Periyar happened during 1341 CE, which choked the Muziris port (near Pattanam, N. Paravur), one of the greatest ports in Ancient World.There is an argument that the name Pizhala is derived from the Portuguese words paz na ilha, which mean 'peace on island'.
