country. Malaysia

year of inscription. 2008 (modification: 2011)

criteria. Cultural

Melaka and George Town are historic cities, in the states of Melaka and Pulau Pinang respectively, along the Straits of Malacca that have developed as a consequence of economic and cultural interaction between the East and the West. Both towns demonstrate the multicultural heritage originating from trade routes from the United Kingdom to China, through the Middle East, South Asia, and the Malay Archipelago. This can be seen in Melaka, with its origins in the 15th century CE Malay sultanate and through the Portuguese and Dutch periods, and George Town, with its origins in the British era of the late 18th century CE.
