It is not complete if you visit Malacca without visiting A Famosa Fort. The fort was built in 1511 by Portuguese. In 1810, the fort was given by Dutch to English and demolish by English to prevent the fort fallen to the wrong hand. It is fortunate that Sir Stamford Raffles safe the the entrance of the fort for the sake of history preservation. Further reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Famosa
