About A Famosa (Porta de Santiago)

A Famosa was the fortress the Portuguese built after taking Melaka in 1511. The Dutch expanded its walls after 1641, and the British demolished almost all of it in 1811. The Porta de Santiago gateway and the rebuilt Middelburg Bastion are the only parts left.

The gateway stands at the foot of St Paul's Hill, so most people combine it with the climb to the church ruins at the top and the museums along Jalan Kota. It takes about 15 minutes on its own and is busiest in the late afternoon.
