Portuguese Well, Colonial water well in Merlimau, Malaysia.
The Portuguese Well stands constructed with laterite rocks from nearby beaches, featuring a deep circular shaft surrounded by stone walls.
Portuguese soldiers excavated this water source during their colonial rule of Malacca, using it while protecting the region from attacks from Muar.
The well represents early European colonial infrastructure in Malaysia, demonstrating historical water management techniques from the 16th century.
Located at coordinates 2.129722 N, 102.418639 E, the site currently has restricted access with barbed wire gates limiting public entry.
