Development @ Malacca was very fast lah...

Photoshoot @ A Famosa (Malay: Kota A Famosa; "The Famous" in Portuguese) is a Portuguese fortress located in Malacca.  It is among the oldest surviving European architectural remains in Asia. Look @ the signage "No Entry Except for Bicycle & Rickshaw".. thats why we here..

In 1511, a Portuguese fleet arrived under the command of Afonso de Albuquerque. His forces attacked and successfully defeated the armies of the Malacca Sultanate. Moving quickly to consolidate his gains, Albuquerque had the fortress built around a natural hill near the sea. Albuquerque believed that Malacca would become an important port linking Portugal to the Spice Route in China. At this time other Portuguese were establishing outposts in such places as Macau, China and Goa, India in order to create a string of friendly ports for ships heading to China and returning home to Portugal.

The Stadthuys, also known as the "Red Building" among the locals is one of the most visited and most photographed Tourist Attractions in Malacca. Built in 1650, it is believed to be the oldest Dutch building in the East. It was originally built as the official residence for the Dutch Governors and their officers. However, today only one room remains.
