![[ENG] Malacca was once worth more than gold.
This is not a metaphor. In the 15th century, this port controlled one of the most important trade routes in the world. Ships from China, India, Arabia and Europe passed through the Strait of Malacca, carrying silk, porcelain, spices and gold. Whoever controlled this city controlled trade between East and West.
Today, Malacca looks calm and unassuming. Low buildings, a red colonial square, temples, narrow streets of Chinatown.
Only when you learn its history do you begin to understand how significant this place once was.
[PL] Malacca była kiedyś warta więcej niż złoto.
To nie jest metafora. W XV wieku ten port kontrolował jeden z najważniejszych szlaków handlowych świata. Statki z Chin, Indii, Arabii i Europy przepływały przez Cieśninę Malakka, przewożąc jedwab, porcelanę, przyprawy i złoto. Kto kontrolował to miasto, kontrolował handel między Wschodem a Zachodem.
Dzisiaj Malacca wygląda spokojnie i niepozornie. Niskie budynki, czerwony kolonialny plac, świątynie, wąskie uliczki Chinatown.
Dopiero kiedy poznasz jej historię, zaczynasz rozumieć, jak ogromne znaczenie miało to miejsce.
