A Famosa Fort
A’Famosa Fort, also known simply as A'Famosa, is a famous historical site located in Melaka, Malaysia. Built by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, it was part of their strategic defenses in the region. The fort was originally constructed from laterite stones and consisted of four major towers connected by thick walls.
However, today only a small part of the fort remains standing, known as Porta de Santiago, or Santiago Gate. This gate is a well-preserved remnant of the once-mighty fort and has become an iconic symbol of Melaka's rich history.
The fort changed hands when the Dutch captured Melaka from the Portuguese in 1641. Over the centuries, neglect and natural decay took their toll on the structure. In the 19th century, the British colonial authorities demolished most of the fort, leaving only the gate.

St. Paul's Hill, also known as Bukit St. Paul, is a significant historical site located in Melaka, Malaysia. It is situated near the city center, overlooking the Malacca Strait. The hill is named after the church that sits atop it, St. Paul's Church.
St. Paul's Church was originally built by the Portuguese in 1521, making it one of the oldest churches in Southeast Asia. It was initially named the Nossa Senhora da Annunciada (Our Lady of the Annunciation). The church served as a Catholic church during the Portuguese and Dutch occupations of Melaka. However, when the Dutch captured Melaka from the Portuguese in 1641, they converted the church into a Dutch Protestant church and renamed it St. Paul's Church.
Today, St. Paul's Church stands as a ruin, with only the sturdy brick walls and some tombstones remaining. Despite its dilapidated state, the site is a popular tourist attraction due to its historical significance and commanding views of the city and the strait.
