The Remains of A Famosa, Malacca, Malaysia
Although it was once an entire fortress complex, A Famosa, or “the Famous” (originally used to describe the four-story, 60 meter-tall tower keep built in 1512 by Afonso de Albuquerque), was so named for it being the largest such construction in the region. Unfortunately, after a bombardment by Dutch forces in 1641 and demolition by the British in 1807, all that remains of A Famosa now is the gatehouse and a few outlying structures.
