Melaka City, Malaysia - Souvenir Stalls Besides the Stadthuys

The Stadthuys in the old Dutch Quarter is a historical building and part of the UNESCO designated World Heritage Site. On one side of the Dutch-built building are stalls selling a variety of inexpensive souvenirs. In my view, this commercial activity destroys the Stadthuy's historical significance. But I do admit it does add to the lively atmosphere of the area. Wonder whether visitors come here to immerse themselves in history or buy souvenirs.
