A Famosa is a Melaka fortress that is one of the oldest surviving European architectural ruins in Asia. The Porta de Santiago, a small gate house, is the only part of the fortress still standing. The fortress once consisted of long ramparts and four major towers. One tower was a four-story keep, while the others served as an ammunition storage room, the captain's residence, and officers' quarters. As Melaka's population expanded, it outgrew the original fort, and extensions were added around 1586. The fort changed hands in 1641 when the Dutch successfully drove the Portuguese out of Melaka. The Dutch renovated the gate in 1670, which explains the logo "ANNO 1670" inscribed on the gate's arch. Above the arch is a bas-relief logo of the Dutch East India Company.
