For this post, I will show you interesting places in Melaka.
Melaka are popular due to its many old places that we can visit such as A'famosa, the Xavier Church, and Hang Tuah Perigi.
The city are full with heritage buildings, ancient landmarks and colonial structures. It was here that colonial forces first made contact with Malaysia, which eventually built the country into its current economic and political system.

First, is the famous and the main attraction in Melaka, that is
A'Famosa Fortress.'The porta de Santiago'

Built in 1511, the settlement used to sprawl across a whole hillside but now only a lone gate (Porta de Santiago) remains. One of the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Asia; it is set beside the Istana ke Sultanan on Jalan Kota.
This is the main port for the tourist and it will be uncomplete journey to Melaka if you didn't visit here and took a picture with it.
The fort was almost totally demolished but for the timely intervention of Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore, who happened to visit Malacca in 1810. Because of his passion for history, this small gate was spared from destruction.
