Malacca Attraction

I bet there are a lot of tourist loves to come here not because of to know the history of the existent this building but just want to snap a photo and sometimes they just having a picnic here. Basically, A’Famosa built in 1511, the settlement used to sprawl across a whole hillside but now only a lone gate that called (Porta de Santiago). Moreover, A’Famosa [4] is Malacca’s best known sightseeing spot. It's an originally constructed by Alfonso de Albuquerque (who led the Portuguese invasion on the Malacca Sultanate), the remains of the fort is now a crumbling whitewashed gatehouse and is located downhill from St. Paul’s Church. In the 16th century A’Famosa housed the entire Portuguese administration, including its hospitals, five churches, elongated stockades and four key towers. One tower was a four-storey keep and the others were an ammunition storage room, captain’s residence and an officer’s quarters.
