The A’Famosa is a Portuguese fortress located in Malacca, Malaysia. It is among the oldest surviving of European architectural remains in all of Asia.
A’Famosa is perhaps Malacca’s best known sightseeing spot. Originally constructed by Alfonso de Albuquerque (who led the Portuguese invasion on the Malacca Sultanate), the remains of the fort is now a crumbling whitewashed gatehouse and is located downhill from St. Paul’s Church
