About Dutch Square (Red Square)
Dutch Square is the red-painted heart of the old town: the Stadthuys, Christ Church, the Tan Beng Swee Clock Tower and Queen Victoria's Fountain all stand around it. The Dutch-era buildings were painted red in 1911, and the colour has stayed ever since.
It is the usual starting point for a walk across the river to Jonker Walk or up St Paul's Hill. Decorated trishaws wait here for passengers; agree the price before you get in. Christ Church is covered in the Melaka temples guide.
