The A’Famosa Fortress

Located on St. Paul's Hill, near the historic ruins of St. Paul's Church, the A'Famosa Fortress is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Malaysia.

The A'Famosa Fortress was established in 1511, and the establishment used to sprawl across the side of the hills, adding to the splendor of the area, but now all that remains is the Porta de Santiago, the last intact gatehouse of the once-great fortress.

They are among the finest specimens of European architecture in South Asia, and the fortress is a must-see for anybody interested in the Portuguese era's past and history. The fortress's location makes it a popular area for photography and admiring the scenery, and it is a must-see for visitors from all over the world.
