Church of St Paul

Malaka, Malezija

Also on the list of Melaka’s main historical landmarks are St Paul’s Hill and the Church of St Paul, which was established as a religious place of worship for Christians during the Portuguese colonisation of Melaka. At the top of St Paul’s Hill there is a stunning view of the famous Church of St Paul. What remains of this 500-year-old church are the ruins and other artefacts belonging to Christians and the church from years ago. The Church of St Paul was originally a chapel and was known to the Portuguese in Melaka as the Chapel of Mother of God or Lady of the Hill.The church was built by a Portuguese Captain, Duarte Coelho, in 1521 AD and was originally used as a place of worship for Catholic Christians. However, when the Dutch army colonised Melaka, the church was no longer used as a place of worship as Christ Church was built.
