  • A Famosa Fort - Porta De Santiago (A Famosa): The A’ Famosa fortress, with its 3-meter thick walls and 40-meter watchtower, played a crucial role in protecting the Portuguese from their enemies. It was the most famous and symbolic fortress built by the Portuguese.
  • St. Paul’s Hill & Church (Bukit St. Paul) - St. Paul’s Church: Enlarged to two stories in 1556, St. Paul’s Church was handed over to the Jesuits in 1548 by the Archbishop of Goa. Between 1567 and 1596, the Portuguese added gun turrets, turning it into a fortress.
  • Red Square (Dutch Square) - Red Square: The salmon-pink Dutch administrative buildings now house the Melaka Museum and other government offices.
