Motupalli
Motupalli is a coastal village in Andhra Pradesh, India, that was a major seaport of the Kakatiya dynasty and later of the Reddi kingdom. Around 1245 King Ganapatideva issued an inscription there guaranteeing fair treatment to foreign merchants, and Marco Polo described the port, which he called Mutfili, at the end of the 13th century. It traded in textiles and diamonds.
