Dear Friend, Temple near Melakadambur are Oomampuliyur,Kaanaatampuliyur.These are Devaram Hymns Temple more than 1500 year old.Since you are going to Melakadambur go to these temple very famous and good enough to view.If you have time go to Kattumannargudi sivan temple very worth to visit were you find inscriptions about person name who killed AdityaKarikala elder brother of Rajarajachola.
These temples are more than 1500 years old with historical backgrounds and also Devaram Hymns temples.If you have time visit to Kattumannargudi sivan temple also called as Udayarkudi sivan temple.

THERE IS NO KADAMBAUR PALACE...
But several years back.. i have seen foundations of huge structures near Kadambur lake...
Kadambur is of two portions.. : Keezha (Eastern) Kadambur and Mela (Western) Kadambur...
Famous amirtha kadeswarar (Kulothunga - chariot type well decorated structure - our Kadambur Vijay has been making frequent mentions on these ) and Rajendra's War-trophy bronze of Dancing Siva (bengal origin ) are located here...
Keezhakadambur - there was State Archlogy maintained Uthirapathy temple .. dilapidated.. when i saw 10 years back..
In between - near a lake ( NOT veeranam of course ) there were several sivalinga's lying (at least 80 to 100) ..
it was speculated this could be Kadamubur palace and associated temple ..
