Replica of the Melaka Sultanate Palace

Kota A Famosa
St. Paul's Church
    The fort of Porta De Santiago (A Famosa) is one of the oldest surviving European architectural remains in the whole of Asia. This tiny gate which we call A Famosa or Porta de Santiago is the last remains of what used to be a mighty fortress. It is currently demolished although there are ongoing efforts to reconstruct this fortress. It was controlled by the Portuguese from the year 1511 to 1641, Dutch from the year 1641 to 1795 and English from 1795 to the year when it was demolished. Then, Kota A Famosa is easy to find out because it is just located near to the others historical building in Malacca.
