Text Appearing Before Image: Text Appearing After Image: Note About Images CONTEXT: At the time of the 1551 attack led by Japara and Johor-the last one on Melaka before 1568-the fortifications around the Portuguese settlement were very simple: except for the old Famosa fortress, they were entirely made of wooden palisades with taipa walls (that is of earth and pebbles beaten together with pestles). This intermediate stage of fortification was, in fact, achieved only after the Acehnese surprise attack of 1537 had nearly succeeded in storming the Portuguese settlement. In 1564, fearing that this unsophisticated fortification would not be sufficient to protect Melaka from the mounting pressure and growing forces of Aceh and other Muslim city States of the Archipelago, the Viceroy of India gave instructions to D. Diogo de Menezes, the new Captain of Melaka, for full-fledged defence-works to be built around the fortress, the Melaka Hill and the surrounding plain to its north and northeast. See [1] |
