    Visit the Stadthuys, which now houses rows of souvenior stall. There is also a museum and an area that showcases vintage vehicles, like an old fire-engine. Christ Church and a clock tower is beside The Stadthuys. There is also a fountain, where you can cool of and take a rest. There are some people with animals (like a big scary iguana) that you can take your photos with.

    Stadthuys, the red 3-storey building at the center of Dutch Square, was built in 1650 as the official residence of Dutch governors.

    Presently, it houses the History and Ethnography Museum where artifacts from Melaka's colonial past are on display. A fee of RM10 is charged and the museum is closed on Monday.

    It is actually a museum. Think of the entrance fee as a 3-in-1. Actually the museums are integrated. Visiting the Stadthuys means you can visit the Governors Museum and Democratic Museum as well as the Admiral Cheng Ho exhibit.

    The exhibits in the Stadthuys are more history oriented and shows many historical and cultural aspects of Melaka.

    The place is old and if they do anymore digging, they might unearth more artefacts!
