Situated at the Dutch Square in Malacca, the Queen Victoria fountain provides an irresistible backdrop for tourists to take photos.
In 1824, the British and Dutch signed the Anglo-Dutch Treaty. The British obtained the ownership of Malacca by exchanging Bencoolen of Sumatra with the Dutch.
The British set up the Malay Peninsula Strait Settlements in 1826. The Strait Settlements was composed of Penang, Malacca and Singapore. It was under the rule of the British East India Company Governor.
The Queen Victoria Fountain was built in 1904 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria of United Kingdom. After more than hundred years, the Queen Victoria Fountain is still standing tall at the Dutch Square.
