Beautiful historical church, which is definitely worth going if you are in Melaka.
This is also a textbook historical location of Malacca, which was constructed many years ago when Malacca was still undeveloped.
At present as it is, it is still an iconic structure, which you won't find a second one in the world, and is a good site for taking photos!
Bring more water, it can be very hot up here.

the old historical ruined church located at the top of hilly terrain.
at the observation place, we can see the stunning panoramic scenery view of Malacca strait in the far distance.
actually, from this place, we can take a short walking step to see several museums that has located quite near each other in walking distance.

Like the place. A historical of malacca. It tell the remain of the building after the war at the dutch era. Building are well maintained. Informative

The oldest capel ini the southeast Asia where the St Paul has come to Malacca
Ini early 15th Century.
Now only remain the ruins of church
The position of the church is ini the hill, so maybe the church also used to be a defense tower because everyone can see who comes from the sea.
Great place to know historical from the 15th Century

A historical remain but also a cool place to enjoy around! It's very lovely and definitely a good place for taking pictures. If you have a sense of beauty you probably wouldn't get bored even just looking at these marvellous structures. I like to be absorbed into the ambience here.

Free access which only requires some 5' of climbing steps on a hill to very interesting ruins. There isn't much effort to preserve them, so I hope increased tourism would change the situation.

Remains of the old Dutch church that sits atop the hill. Also a graveyard and some great views. Not surprisingly there are lots of tourist stalls here as well.

Worth a visit to see the architectural remains with good views of the city. It’s a pity it’s not well maintained - dirty, many hustlers selling souvenirs and food, even inside the church itself. No security to protect the monument, I saw tourists climb and sit on windowsills for photos. A shame...

Little walk to get to the top with multiple stairs. Nice view from there. The old ruin is pretty nice and it's a good spot to take a little break from the walk because of the breeze.

This is the ruins of an old church, built during the Portuguese era. It is quite well maintained - whatever is left of it, that is. Grave stones adorn the inner walls indicating the people who were buried there in the past. There is a statue of Jesuit missionary St Francis Xavier in front, and the right wrist is missing, similar to the actual remains of the saint, whose hand was cut off as a religious relic. On Dec 3, the feast day of the saint, a Catholic mass is held at this site.

This is just the ruins of Saint Paul Church at the summit of Saint Paul's hill. The place is beautiful, breezy sanctuary set near the remains of A'Formosa Fort. Just be careful going here, this can be reached after a steep flight of stairs.

Ruins of St. Paul's church that was built by the Portuguese in the 14th century. Easier access via steps close to A'Famosa compared to the other steeper steps nearer to the Stadhuys. Here, you can have a bird eyes view of Malacca city and on a clear day, the Straits of Malacca as well.

Walk up to this church from the main road. Nice view from up the tiny hill.

Best historical ruin i ve ever been. The atmosphere there is just wonderful. No rooftop, allow the blue sky can be seen indoor. The light shine on this church, make the building alive
Yong TM (09/06/2017 12:03)
Very historical building with many plaques or gravestones around. The surrounding is beautiful, overlooking the Melaka Raya area
Nava K (25/05/2017 15:40)
From Melaka Sultanate Palace, I walked in the scorching weather to climb the steep steps . Honestly, I really didn't know where I was heading, just blindly followed the rest in front of me to reach the hill top. Beautiful view standing there, overlooking the city and coastline of Malacca. Catching my breath, I then walked around to see the broad spectrum of the whole area, including the ruins of more than 150 years and ancient tomb of St Francis Xavier. Very interesting place. Won't mind returning again.
Stella van Goh (03/05/2017 05:19)
This is how an ancient monument/building suppose to feel like. Old, eerie and sad. Even in the afternoon i still feel quite uneasy. But not in a bad way thou. You can buy some painting if you like, from Daniel especially. Need some efforts to reach here. A short climb i would say. You can buy some coins, notes, or stamps on the way here 😬

A must visit when coming to Melaka. It's a short climb up from the A Famosa. Go around the St Paul's church remains and you get different views of Melaka from on top of the hill. In the area where the sanctuary used to be, there is fenced off tomb where people throw in coins and make a wish. And there is an old statue of St Francis Xavier outside of the church. Plenty of handicraft vendors all around. Must visit.

This place was best place in Malacca city.
I liked smell of here.
I loved the sunset mood in here.
I admired the comfortable sitting the door&inside of here.

A ruined but beautiful church on top of a hill. There's a nice uphill, tree-top walking path from the river to the church. The place itself and the view are beautiful.

Historical church building built in 1521. You can have a good view from here to look at the melaka town.
chin ling loh (28/01/2017 09:42)
The original structure was a simple chapel built in 1521 dedicated to the Virgin Mary and known as the Nossa Senhora da Annunciada (Our Lady of Grace) or the Nossa Senhora da Annunciada (Our Lady of the Hill). The chapel was built by a Portuguese fidalgo or nobleman, Duarte Coelho, as an act of gratitude following his escape from a storm in the South China Sea.

This is a beautiful church in Melaka, remember to check out the inside as well.
Insaf Al-Mosawi (03/01/2017 03:06)
You can feel it's an old building when you enter it, unlike other places in the area.
Low cs (09/12/2016 06:55)
It's a short climb up to reach the church. You will be able to see the sea from above.
Ronny Cool (24/09/2016 05:30)
It is located on the top of the hill. You can see Malacca from above here.
Philip Khew (11/09/2016 09:35)
Nice spot with great bird eye view of Malacca Strait
Haziq Aiman (15/08/2016 04:12)
Gets crowded on weekend but the view from the top was nice and the cooling sea breeze do offer you a bit of comfort from the malacca heat.
Amir Ariffin (18/06/2016 11:07)
Nice place as it is a historical building. It is a church built by the british during the British colonial periods...
Tony Wong (09/04/2016 11:14)
A place with a long history. Just a brief walk from Jonker Street.
Jonathan Chen (08/04/2016 05:51)
A short easy walk up to a historic site. The partially restored derelict church is well worth visiting. The site appears to be well maintained, surprisingly lacking hawkers. The hill location offers a view of the old town and photo opportunities.
Michael Watson (13/03/2016 13:01)
Wow, an amazing old church atop the hill, historic and well cared for. An easy walk to get to, wonderful views, and the park it resides in was lovely. Very interesting, and you'll get lots of good photos.

Must see if to Melacca. Historical place with good view and clean. You will climb stairway but it's not to hard.
