• St. Peter’s Church - Located in Melaka City, Melaka, Malaysia, St. Peter’s Church is the oldest active Roman Catholic church in Malaysia. It ranks as the third largest Catholic church in Melaka City, following the Church of St. Francis Xavier and St. Theresa’s Church in Gajah Berang, a district north of St. Peter’s Church.

The Portuguese rule in Melaka ended when the Dutch took over in 1641, leading to a period of Catholic persecution. Churches were demolished, and Catholics were prohibited from having cemeteries or praying at home. Priests were also barred from serving their congregations. After years of persecution, a Dutch convert named Maryber Franz Amboer donated land in the District of Saba. The first priest, Fr. Domingos Monteiro, dedicated the church to St. Peter, the patron saint of fishermen, and it was constructed in 1710.

• Church of Saint Paul, Malacca - Saint Paul’s Church, a historic building in Malacca City, Malaysia, was constructed between 1566 and 1590. It is the oldest European structure east of India, situated atop St. Paul’s Hill.

The first Catholic Church in Malacca, “Our Lady of the Annunciation,” was built by Portuguese viceroy Afonso de Albuquerque near the colonial castle A Famosa in 1511. It later became the Cathedral Our Lady of the Assumption.

When the Protestant Dutch conquered Malacca in 1641, the church was renamed “St. Paul’s Church” for Dutch Reformed use. It served as the main church for the Protestant Dutch community until the Benedenkerk Christ Church Malacca was completed in 1753.

By 1744, the church was used as a powder magazine. When the British occupied Malacca in 1824, it continued to serve this purpose.

• Stadthuys - The Stadthuys, meaning city hall in old Dutch, is a historical building in the heart of Malacca City, the administrative capital of Malacca, Malaysia, located in the Red Square. Known for its red exterior and nearby red clocktower, it was built by the Dutch in 1650 as the office for the Dutch governor and deputy governor. After the British takeover, it served as the Treasury, Post Office, Government Offices, and apartments for high officials.

When Malacca was transferred to British control in the 19th century, the Malacca Free School was established near the Stadthuys on December 7, 1826, by missionaries. The school, offering free education, was renamed Malacca High School in 1871 and relocated to Chan Koon Cheng Road in 1931.

• A Famosa Fort - A Famosa was a Portuguese fortress built around 1512 in Malacca, Malaysia. The oldest section was a five-storey keep, which eventually lent its name to the entire fortress. After the Battle of Malacca in 1641 and the Dutch occupation, the keep was destroyed, but the outer walls were expanded. In 1811, the British demolished most of the original fortress and outer walls. Today, only the Porta de Santiago gateway and the rebuilt Middelburg Bastion remain.

• Jonker Street - Jonker Walk is the Chinatown area in Malacca City, Malaysia, located along Jonker Street. It begins across the Malacca River near the Stadthuys, with historical houses from the 17th century lining the street. Many of these houses are now shops selling antiques, textiles, food, handicrafts, and souvenirs. The area transforms into a night market every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 6 p.m. to midnight, with the street closed to traffic.

• Cheng Hoon Teng Temple - Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is a Chinese temple practicing Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, located at No. 25 Jalan Tokong, Malacca City, Malaysia. It is the oldest functioning temple in the country.

The temple site was established during Dutch Malacca by Chinese Kapitans Tay Kie Ki and Tay Hong Yong in 1645. There is some debate about the exact construction date. An inscription in the temple records the Ming Dynasty calendar Wanli Reign period 28 years, suggesting it may have existed since 1600 or earlier in the 15th century. The temple was the main worship site for the local Hoklo (Hokkien) community. Kapitan Chan Ki Lock built a main hall in 1704. In 1801, under Kapitan Chua Su Cheong Tok Ping, father of Singapore’s first Kapitan Choa Chong Long, the temple was renovated and expanded.

• Malacca River - The Malacca River (Malay: Sungai Melaka) flows through the state of Malacca, Malaysia. It was a crucial trade route during the Malacca Sultanate’s peak in the 15th century.

The river originates from the southern Titiwangsa Mountains in Negeri Sembilan, at Kampung Orek, Tampin District, as the Tampin River. It flows south, nearly parallel to the Karak-Tampin trunk road (Federal Route FT 9) until Tampin and Pulau Sebang, beyond the Negeri Sembilan-Malacca border. At Gadek in Alor Gajah District, the Batang Melaka River merges with the Tampin to form the Malacca River, which empties into the Strait of Malacca.

• The Floating Mosque - The Malacca Straits Mosque (Malay: Masjid Selat Melaka) is situated on the artificial Malacca Island in Malacca City, Malaysia. Built at a cost of approximately MYR10 million, it was inaugurated on November 24, 2006, by the King of Malaysia, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin ibni Almarhum Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail. The mosque features a blend of Middle Eastern and Malay architecture and appears to float when the water level is high. It has two intersecting archways leading to the main entrance, with stained glass between the arches. The compound includes a 30-meter-tall (98 ft) minaret that also functions as a lighthouse.

• Peranakan Mansion - Peranakan or Nyonya cuisine originates from the Peranakans, descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Penang, Malacca, Singapore, and Indonesia, intermarrying with local Malays. In Baba Malay, a female Peranakan is called a nonya (also spelled nyonya), and a male is known as a baba. The cuisine blends Chinese, Malay, Javanese, South Indian, and other influences.
