About Melaka
Melaka is a historic Malaysian port on the Strait of Malacca, with Portuguese and Dutch landmarks, a river lined with shophouses and Peranakan food.
Melaka was a great trading port of the fifteenth century, then a Portuguese, Dutch and British possession, and its historic centre, listed by UNESCO with George Town, still bears all of those layers. The red Stadthuys, a Dutch town hall, and Christ Church stand around a square, and the ruined church of St Paul crowns the hill above, near the gateway of A Famosa, the old Portuguese fort. The Melaka River, lined with old shophouses and murals, runs through the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Melaka: Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat), Malacca River (Sungai Melaka), Cheng Hoon Teng Temple.
