The historic city of Malaka (Melacca) is the capital of the state of Melaka on the south western coast of peninsular Malaysia. The city was heritage listed in July 2008 because of it's historical significance. The town was once the centre of the Malaccan Sultanate and was a major trading centre, it had close ties with arab and chinese traders in particular. It fell to the Potugese in 1511 and was later ruled by the Dutch and then the English.
The town has a fascinating mix of the various cultures that have ruled the city over the centuries. Some of the fortifications erected by the Porttugese and Dutch can still be seen today and there are numerous historical attractions around the old town as well as a fascinating array of architectural styles. Another treat when visiting Malacca is the traditional Baba Nyonya cuisine.
