MELAKA & GEORGETOWN LISTED BY UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST UNDER "HISTORIC CITIES IN THE STRAITS OF MALACCA" FROM 7TH. JULY 2008


This is a very historic day for Melaka in particular and for Malaysia in general. Melaka and Georgetown have been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Cities under "Historic Cities in the Straits of Malacca" from 7th. July 2008. This was announced in Quebec, Canada after the UNESCO Heritage Meeting.


“Melaka and George Town, historic cities of the Straits of Malacca (Malaysia) have
developed over 500 years of trading and cultural exchanges between East and West in the Straits
of Malacca. The influences of Asia and Europe have endowed the towns with a specific multicultural
heritage that is both tangible and intangible. With its government buildings, churches, squares and
fortifications, Melaka demonstrates the early stages of this history originating in the 15th-century
Malay sultanate and the Portuguese and Dutch periods beginning in the early 16th century.
Featuring residential and commercial buildings, George Town represents the British era from the
end of the 18th century. The two towns constitute a unique architectural and cultural townscape
without parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia.”
