The tomb of Tun Teja

The Tun Teja Mausoleum (Malay: Makam Tun Teja) is the mausoleum of Tun Teja located in Merlimau, Jasin District, Melaka, Malaysia. It is the burial place of Tun Teja Ratna Benggala, consort of Sultan Mahmud Shah who ruled Melaka from 1458 to 1511.[1]

As the king was escaping the invasion of the Portuguese in 1511 with his army, Tun Teja was believed to have died on the way to Muar, Johor before being buried at Kampung Pengkalan Samak.[2]
