Porta de Santiago Melaka City

Porta de Santiago Melaka City

Most visitors pause for a photo here before hiking to the ruined church on Bukit St Paul. Porta de Santiago was built as a Portuguese fortress in 1511; the British took over in 1641 and destroyed it in 1806 to prevent it falling into Napoleon's hands. Fortunately, Sir Stamford Raffles arrived in 1810 and saved what remains today.
