After we're done at the city of Melaka, we next head southwards towards Muar and decided to visit the tomb of Tun Teja.
Who is Tun Teja? She was said to be an astounding beauty from a noble family in Pahang...
There is a long story regarding how the admiral Hang Tuah came to Pahang and managed to lure her to come to Melaka and marry the Sultan...
It is said that she died while retreating with the royal entourage following the conquest of the city of Melaka by the Portuguese in 1511 and that is why she was buried here, in the middle of a paddy
field.
There is reason to believe that there was a settlement here once, even for a short while. This well in the compounds of the Tun Teja tomb complex should attest to that...
