Cosa vedere a Malacca

Malacca's Absolute Essentials

Malacca’s historical core features a concentrated collection of colonial landmarks, including the 16th-century A Famosa fortress and the red-hued Dutch Stadthuys. The city’s cultural heritage is preserved in the Peranakan architecture of Jonker Street and the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest functioning Chinese temple in Malaysia. Modern additions include the revolving Taming Sari Tower and the Malacca Straits Mosque, built on a man-made island. Culinary traditions are represented through regional specialties like satay celup and chicken rice balls.
