-Explore Malacca-
Firmly
rooted as Malaysia's historical city, visiting Malacca is like a journey back
in time to witness the adventures and discoveries during Malacca's golden age.
Today, there are many historical sites to visit that give you a glimpse of
Malacca's glorious past. This is balanced with other modern attractions such as
water theme parks and cultural parks.
A’Famosa
used to sprawl across a whole hillside but now only a lone gate (Porta de
Santiago) remains. Originally constructed by Alfonso de Albuquerque (who led
the Portuguese invasion on the Malacca Sultanate), the remains of the fort is
now a preserved whitewashed gatehouse and is located downhill from St. Paul’s
Church
Christ
Church was built by the Dutch when they took possession of Malacca from the
Portuguese and today, it stands as one of Malacca’s most defining structures.
Situated along Jalan Gereja (also known as Church Street), it is an instantly
recognisable brick-red building with a huge white cross at the top. The
interior of the cathedral has 200 year-old handmade pews, decorative fanlights
and plaques that honour Dutch soldiers and locals.
