    According to records from the Chinese admiral Cheng Ho who visited Malacca in 1409, during the reign of the Malacca Sultanate, there was a city built by Raja Parameswara. The town is built from strong wood as a wall and has 4 doors. At night, it is always well-kept. Sultan build the city is to make a department for the store goods and the government treasury as well as defence against enemy attacks. This city continues to be improved from time to time by the Kings who replaced him.

Portuguese General
Alfonso de Albuquerque

    In a great battle with the Portuguese in 1511, this city cannot be destroyed by the enemy, and because of that Malacca was conquered by the Portuguese. Recognizing the importance of a stronger defence in Malacca, the Portuguese General, Alfonso de'Albuquerque has ordered to build a city. At first, Albuquerque is planning to build the city by using the wood and stone, however then the city is built entirely using stone because that is the material property at the time. As a result, he has ordered his forces and uses the 300-400 slaves’ of captive kings to build this city. Upon completion of the city and strong imposing at Bukit St. Paul , the name had be given as Kota Famosa which means “Transpire City”.
