#traveldiaries #malaysia #malacca

A Famosa is a historic fortress in Malacca, Malaysia, built by the Portuguese in 1511. Once a large military structure, today only the Porta de Santiago gate remains after much of the fort was destroyed by the British in 1807. As one of Southeast Asia’s oldest European ruins, A Famosa is a popular landmark that reflects Malacca’s rich colonial history, offering visitors a glimpse into its Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences.
