It’s one of the most historical sites in all of Malacca. Fortified with thick walls, this Portuguese fortress is something you cannot miss. The tiny gate that is called A Famosa or Porta de Santiago, is a remnant of the history that time has not been able to wash off. The fort was handed over to the British by the Dutch in the early 19th century. Taking its name from what means ‘The Famous’ in Portuguese, the fort was constructed in 1511. It was the time when Portuguese were looking at Malacca as an important part of its trade business. This lasted till 1641 when the Dutch got their hands on the A Famosa. The fort standing tall was actually saved by Stamford Raffles in 1810. Location: Head to Jalan Kota where you will find the A Famosa located just next to the Stadthuys building. Keep in mind: Entry is free! How to get there: Get a taxi.

The hallmark of Malacca. Built by a Portuguese in 1511 as a fortress, it sustained severe structural damage during the Dutch invasion. The Dutch has set to destroy it but was intervened by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1808 and that was what remains of A Famosa today.
