The Portuguese admiral, Alfonso d'Albuquerque, built Porta De Santiego or A' Famosa in 1511. However, this fortress was badly damage during the Dutch invasion in 1641. Fortunately, Sir Stamford Raffles, a British official, intervened in 1808 and saved what remains of A' Famosa today. This famous landmark is located near St. Paul's Church.

Admission is free.
