Me, West & Nisa On Holiday Part 9 : A' Famosa


This historical city was once ruled by the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the English....So again, there is a mix of cultures in this city, adding the remains of those colonial powers to the Malay, Chinese, and Indian culture....

A Famosa is one of the most valuable ruins built by the Portuguese centuries ago...This place is another sought after attraction in Melaka that you should not miss if you are visiting Melaka...Known also as Porta de Santiago, this structure is one of the four main gates of the famous Portuguese fortress....The fortress was built by Alfonso de Albuquerque in 1512, one year after the Portuguese invaded Melaka....

Here the pictures at Porta de Santiaaaaagoooo!!!!






After the Portuguese captured Melaka, they built a fortress to defend themselves....The fortress, called A'Famosa suffered severe destruction during the Dutch invasion....What's left today is just the entrance walls, still well preserved till today...

That uncle also 'tumpang' us.....hahahahahar
being shocked for a while when heard someone laughed behind us..


Do Re Mi !!!!!!!
