The Castle of Santiago is a Portuguese-style building from the early 16th century and is known as the largest and strongest castle in Southeast Asia. The castle was built by the Portuguese after the occupation of Malacca in 1511. In 1607, the castle was destroyed by the Dutch, and only the gate survived. The locals regard the castle as the spiritual symbol of Malacca.The surviving ancient city gate is a western-style old building with a rough pattern carved on the gate and a long arch at the top as if wearing a hat on the head. The gunhouse on the right is preserved to this day.
