DIMANAKAH BEKAS TAPAK ISTANA MELAKA??

Pada zaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka dahulu , tapak istana Kesultanan Melayu Melaka terletak di atas Bukit St Paul. Ini dinyatakan dalam beberapa catatan perang dengan Portugis dan catatan Inggeris dalam beberapa artikel. Berikut adalah antara cerapannya;

......"The Malays strongly fortified the bridge and stationed upon it a force of picked men under an Indian mercenary named Tuan Bandam. The high ground immediately to the south of the river- the St Paul's hill, as it is now called- was the true Malay citadel. It was covered with the houses of the principal adherents of the Sultan and was the site of the Sultan's palace itself. It protected the bridge and was garrissoned by followers of the war-party, the Prince Aleiden and the Sultan of Pahang......"

...." The Prince Aleidin and his men furiously attacked the landing party and were only beaten off after the Portuguese had lost 80 men in killed and wounded. The Viceroy tried to follow up his success by attacking the mosques and palace on what is now St Paul's Hill"...
