Malacca City

Also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Malacca's historic core tells the story of one of the world's greatest medieval trading ports through Dutch colonial stadthuys, Portuguese A Famosa fortifications, Malay palaces, Chinese temples, and an extraordinary Peranakan Baba-Nyonya culture that evolved nowhere else on earth. The Straits of Malacca were once the most commercially significant waterway in the known world.
