A'Famosa Melaka

At first Glance, A Famosa which translates to “Famous” is just another old gate. But you’ll soon notice its importance to the people and history as more tourists come here and take pictures. A Famosa used to be a fort which was built in 1511 but it was eventually flattened out in 1808 when the government found it to be unnecessary. What’s left are the gate and the cannon which could have been destroyed if not for the intervention of Sir Stamford Raffles who is also known as the founder of modern Singapore.
