The ‘Venice of the East’ - a name given to Malacca river by European seafarers as it was a prominent port of entry for traders from Europe and Asia during the late 16th century. It is believed to be the place where Malacca was founded by Sumatran Prince Parameswara, who built his palace along the east side of the riverbank in the 1400s. #malaccariver #malacca #travelphotography #travelogue #malaccahistory (at Melaka Kota Sejarah)
