A' Famosa


The gate of the A Famosa Portuguese fort in Melaka. Originally built in 1511 and renovated by the Dutch in 1670, this gate is one of the oldest European surviving architectural remains in Asia.

Being a popular tourist site, this image had to be taken early morning to avoid the large crowd brought in by the tour buses.
