Last year Malacca was inscribed as UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Sites. The influences of Asia and Europe have endowed Malacca towns with a specific multicultural heritage that is both tangible and intangible. With its government buildings, churches, squares and fortifications, Melacca demonstrates the early stages of this history originating in the 15th-century Malay sultanate and the Portuguese and Dutch periods beginning in the early 16th century.
