"The Porta de Santiago is one of the four maingates of the A Famosa Fontress,located at the foot of St.Paul's Hill,it was built by the Portuguese in 1512 under the command of Alfonso De Allbuquarque. One of the remaining historical landmarks in Malacca, it is certainly a good place for us and our young generations to visit this kind of places, and definitely a good spot for Tourist. I'll bring my students to visit this place sometime during this semester break."
