Kota A Famosa, Melacca

Written on May 5, 2007 – 12:00 am | by Beng Han | 236 views

Kota A Famosa, which was located just next to Dataran Pahlawan, a short walking distance.

The hallmark of Malacca and perhaps the most photographed subject next to the Stadhuys. Built by the Portuguese in 1511 as a fortress it sustained severe damage during the Dutch invasion. The British East India Company had set to destroy it but timely intervention by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1808 saved what remains of A Famosa today.
