A-Famosa Fort and St Paul's church

#fallingseason Early autumn we ad our vacation in Malaysia, and we dropped by Malacca for a one day trip. The most famous spot to visit is of course the A Famosa fort gate and St Paul's Hill and church. Malacca City was the capital of the Malacca Sultanate for almost 110 years from Year 1400+ till 1511 until colonized by the Portugese. This fort was built and commissioned the following year by Alfonso d Albuquerque. The fort was fortified during the Dutch occupation and then destroyed by the British when handed over. The only parts that was left is the fort gate, and still standing after 500 years. This serves as the relic of the central of Kota Melaka.
