The red buildings were erected during the 17th and 18th centuries. They all bring forth the distinctive features of Dutch architecture during that time. Each building offers large windows and decorative details made from wrought iron. A mixture of British and Portuguese architecture is reflected in the Tan Ben Swee Clock Tower. Portuguese influences are also seen at A Famosa ("The Famous" in English), the old fortress built in 1512.
