The St. Paul’s church is located on the hilltop of St. Paul’s hill. The church was built by the Portuguese as a place of worship but when the Dutch invaded Malacca, the church was turned into a burial ground. Only ruins of the original architecture are left here. The big and white-stoned structural remains of the church have two pillars in the front that support the building.
Since it is set on a hilltop, it takes some time to get to it. There are many museums along the way and you might want to make a stop to have a look at them. The actual church begins after A Famosa, with the white stairs. After reaching the top, the view of Malacca city and the coastline is splendid.
The Melaka Sultanate Palace is at the foot of the church which is a replica of the original palace of king Mansur Shah.
