A Famosa ~ The Porta de Santiago, Malacca. We met you finally. A Famosa is a must visit travel destination in Malacca. This is the important landmark that you must not miss. Else you are not visiting Malacca at all. A Famosa was constructed by the Portuguese in 1511. And it suffered severe structural damage during the Dutch invasion.

A Famosa ~ The Porta de Santiago, Malacca

Finding a good spot to take A Famosa is not simple. You need to reach there before all the visitors and hawkers. Else you cannot take good picture of Fort A Famosa. I was trying to get the best angle and did the best cropping. See below photographs. Still better than nothing…

Still got the hawker stuffs

See the red table…

Hmm… This one should be better.

Hey, we have a cannon here.

What can you do? Prepare to fire it…

And the target is Jayce!!!
