Melaka and George Town, historic cities of the Straits of Malacca have
developed over 500 years of trading and cultural exchanges between East
and West in the Straits of Malacca. The influences of Asia and Europe
have endowed the towns with a specific multicultural heritage that is
both tangible and intangible. With its government buildings, churches,
squares and fortifications, Melaka 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.
Featuring residential and commercial buildings, George Town represents
the British era from the end of the 18th century. The two towns
constitute a unique architectural and cultural townscape without
parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia.
