A’Famosa (Porta de Santiago)

The hallmark of Melaka and perhaps the most photographed subject next to the Stadthuys. Built by the Portuguese in year 1511 as a fortress it sustained severe structural damage during the Dutch Invasion. The British had set to destroy it but timely intervention by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1808 saved what remains of A' Famosa today.
