A truly historical building in Melaka! But inside full of people selling stuff! Losing its appeal slowly.. A bit of sore eyes looking at the vendors spoiling the beauty of Melaka!

The only remnant of earliest Portuguese fortress in Southeast Asia. Unwilling to maintain it, the Brits (no names) ordered its destruction. Sir Stamford Raffles intervened in time. Source: Wikipedia
