Welcome to Melaka

MELAKA'S GLORIOUS PAST

MELAKA'S HISTORY BEGAN

Melaka's history began in 1403 with the arrival of Parameswara, an exiled Hindu Prince from the Kingdom of Sri Vijaya in Sumatera. He assumed the title of Raja Iskandar when he embraced Islam and become the first ruler of this new kingdom which marked the early beginnings of the Sultanate of Melaka.

In time, Melaka gained prominence as a vibrant maritime trading centre and was coveted by several foreign powers. The Portuguese led by Alfonso d' Albuquerque conquered Melaka in 1511 and colonized it for 130 years. The Dutch then came in 1641 and ruled for 154 years. They were followed by the British in 1824 who ruled until the country gained its independence. Melaka also experienced Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945. After World War Two, nationalistic sentiments began to spread culminating in the proclamation of Independence on the 31st August 1957.

RICH AND COLORFUL PAST

Melaka's appeal lies in rich and colorful past. Its 600 years of history is reflected in its ancient buildings, intriguing streets, delectable cuisine and unique cultural heritage.  So coveted was Melaka by European powers that it was ruled successively by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British until the Federation of Malaya was formed on the 31st August 1957. Melaka is renowned as the place where the history of Malaysia began. From a quiet fishing village back in the early 15th century, Melaka grew into one of the world's greatest trading empires. In the 16th century, Melaka enjoyed a reputation as the foremost maritime trading centre in the region. Merchants came from as far as Arabia, China, India and Europe to conduct trade in silk, spices, gold and porcelain.
