Informations supplémentaires

Dutch Square is the popular name for the Malacca Town Square. The square is said to have been built in the middle of the 17th century, and the Dutch lined it with the main townhouse, or Stadhuys, along with the Dutch Reformed Church, now called Christ Church. In recent years, the Dutch Square has also been called the Red Square, since many of the Dutch buildings are now painted maroon. The color scheme was started by the British in the 1920's, when they painted them salmon red. The local authorities darked it to maroon in later years. Melaka town has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 7 July 2008.
