City Overview
Melaka town grew rich by trading spices from the Moluccas in the Indonesian archipelago and textiles from Gujarat in northwest India. Much of Melaka's past remains in the city, constituting the main tourist sights. Of these, the most interesting are the ancestral homes of the Baba-Nonya community, a new racial mix also known as Peranakan that evolved from the sixteenth-century Chinese merchants who settled here and married Malay women.
