Queen Victoria's Fountain

The Queen Victoria Fountain was built in 1901 by the British to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria and is still standing as elegant as ever until this very day. Although more than a hundred years old, this fountain is still functioning well and is probably the only functioning colonial water fountains in Malaysia.

Queen Victoria surpassed George III as the longest reigning monarch in the history of England and Scotland history on 23rd September 1896. The Queen requested at the time that any special celebrations are to be put on hold until 1897 in order to coincide with her Diamond Jubilee which was later made a festival of the British Empire. The fountain is a famous backdrop for visitors who come to Malacca as it is so near The Stadhuys and the Christ Church.

On the tip of the fountain says 'Victoria Regina 1837-1901, erected by the people of Malacca in memory of a great Queen. The Queen Victoria Fountain is probably one of the last traces of the British colonial era in Malaysia and it symbolizes the glorious days of the British colonization in Malaysia in the yesteryears.

The Queen Victoria's Fountain of Malacca is strategically located at the most visited areas in Malacca.
