A must-see ! so much happened in or near this fort, including the declaration of independance of the country. This place is a concentrate of the country history with Portuguese, Dutch and British memories.

This should be the entrance to see the old city. An interesting fort ruins, which says a lot about history of Malacca. I didn't climb up to St.Paul's hill from this way but the other way around, from Stadhuys since it was strikingly hot in daytime at the end of March. Nothing much to see though, just an interesting history,...

This is the entrance of the old city walls. It has a few canons, you can walk around and through it in about 5 minutes. Not too exciting.
it is an attractive fort which built by th protuguese to protect the city of Malacca from attack. The architecture of the fort is still very good and nice looking eventhough some of the bricks are not in good condition.
That's what you'll say when you stumble upon it. It's located right along the heritage trail. You can't miss it. The pictures show all there is to see. It's really small but it has some interesting plaques around it with good history. Read the plaques, take a picture and continue on the trail.
I can find a better fort than this... alot of ppl selling stuff there now. If i can skip, i will skip, but for sure if you walk, you definitely pass this "tiny" fort on the way... if you didn't pay attention, you will miss this. Nothing to see....
Get ready to do some walking around. Thats the best way to learn and find out about thing or of cause u can take the bicycle.
A wee gem of a place with some photogenic aspects. The history is interesting and such a shame more of it wasn't retained.
I don't know if all the people take pictures here because it is on the map. But with all the surroundings this place isn't really nice. Malls and skyscrapers are growing so you really can't make a nice picture. I liked the contrast between old and modern.
Don't waste your time,. it's a big joke. The Dutch and Portuguese were there, now it's a Zoo and the people behave like they were circus performers. avoid the place at all cost.
