| A' Famosa Fort (Porta De Santiago) |

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