Malacca Clock Tower
Malacca City (Malay: Bandaraya Melaka or Kota Melaka) is the capital city of the Malaysian state of Malacca. As of 2019 it has a population of 579,000. It is the oldest Malaysian city on the Straits of Malacca, having become a successful entrepôt in the era of the Malacca Sultanate. The present-day city was founded by Parameswara, a Sumatran prince who escaped to the Malay Peninsula when Srivijaya fell to the Majapahit. Following the establishment of the Malacca Sultanate, the city drew the attention of traders from the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia, as well as the Portuguese, who intended to dominate the trade route in Asia. After Malacca was conquered by Portugal, the city became an area of conflict when the sultanates of Aceh and Johor attempted to take control from the Portuguese.

Guests' reviews
Its a small tower a clock on it, simply in front of an old church, it looks quite old but well maintained.
Malacca was one of the greatest place I have ever had! It was just like a village, not really big but peaceful and full ò beautiful views! Come to Malaysia and visit here visit here someday, guys!!
Good gathering spot as this is the sort of first landmark once you enter Melaka town. There are plenty of attraction nearby which are all in walking distance. The clock tower itself is a good spot to take Instagram worthy photos.
Historical and in centralised within walking distance between all others attractions. Prepare for hot and humid weather!
Malacca Clock Tower is another significant icon sits on Dutch Square. It is just beside The Queen Victoria's Fountain and was erected in 1886 in honor of a generous Chinese tycoon named Tan Beng Swee. Some called it 'Tan Beng Swee Clock Tower'.
