The Queen Victoria's Fountain is another colonial relic which can be seen in the Dutch Square in the city center of Malacca. Built in 1904, in celebration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and made of British marble, it is an interesting structure to see when exploring Malacca. While not an elegant masterpiece compared to many statues and fountains you may... More

This fountain is in the middle of the Dutch red square. It is easy to find it. It seems that English took over the Dutch in this area. In that fountain you will find the date when that fountain was dedicated to the Queen.

Pretty fountain directly in the center of the Dutch Square area. Very busy place for posing for photographs. Nothing special but take a moment to check it out if you're there.

Kids love water and this attracts them like a magnet the moment we arrives. It was like a normal fountain, nothing much except it provides a moment of cooling off on a hot sunny day. Structually, it was a nice and well constructed figure....and still standing strong till today :)

Close by Red Square and offering a calming tranquil water feature to the area. Take the time to sit and watch the scenery of the area.

This fountain was built in 1904 by the British and dedicated to Queen Victoria. It is not old by European standards but it is still pretty to look at.

Passed by this places every now and then as I live in Melaka. The place is nice with a feeling that at least the state government is preserving the place.

Do not expect anything great, just a small fountain. Come by and take a photo if you happen to pass by, especially for visitors from Britain, gives you a sense of nostalgia and past glory!

Other than the fact that this monument and fountain dedicated to Queen Victoria there is very little to add. If you are touring or walking from the ruins of the castle and church to China Town or vice versa you may well stop and this fountain but otherwise not. It takes a few minutes to take in when there and... More
