St Paul HillOne of the destinations in Malacca is this place. It's quite high up with many steps on stairs; great exercise for hiking. From up there you can see beautiful side of Malacca town. There are many scriptures statues in foreign language. Those people who are interested in history should engage tour guide. Fun fact: it is actually connected with A Famosa, another point of interest. I regret came up and down 4 times just to find out that its actually connected! 😭 #malacca #historicsite #getawaytripmortaloveangel24

Oldest Church in Southeast AsiaOne of the most historical and ironic place of Malacca is the ruins of St Paul’s Church which is located on top of a hill. The church was built in the 16th century and what’s left are the ruins and history of the place. Admission is free and since it is located on top of a hill, there are stairs to climb up so take note for those traveling with elderly or young children. Do go on a weekday to experience the quiet and serenity of the place as it can get pretty crowded on the weekends. The view on top is beautiful with views of the city and its port. It is a place not to be missed if you’re a history buff. #malakajellybeans24

Igreja Vermelha - Red ChurchItem : Church of Saint Paul, Malacca Location: 1935, Jln Kota, Bandar Hilir, 75000 Melaka, Malaysia Worth the climb : Absolutely 💯 100% Price : Priceless St. Paul Church is oart of Malacca Museum Complex. It was originally built in 1521....Fuhhhhh so ancient. As you climb uphill there is a lot of Pokok Cermai; Malay Gooseberry Tree. It is similar to amla; Indian Gooseberry. Rich in Vitamic C super duper sour. Some people make pickles with this fruit. So, this church has been used by Portuguese and Dutch before. The Church have have transited from being a Christian Church to Roman Catholic Church to Dutch Reformed Church and now remained a museum. The view on top of the hill is breathtaking. Although the hill is not high, you are still able to look ahead to the straits of Melaka/Malacca. Beautiful indeed. #passionpassportYasmin Fantaghiro16

St. Paul's ChurchIt was originally built in 1521, the oldest church in Malaysis & S.E.A., located at St. Paul Hill, about 100 steps to the top, when we stepping up in the morning, it was windy and relaxing. If u're lucky, u can probably see a cute street cat laying at entrance of Dutch Graveyard, its just like guardian of tomb. 😊😊😊 Beside that, u can enjoy the panoramic view of Melaka city. #historicculture#unescoworldheritageNature Lover68119

One of many attractions in Banda Hilir. Started climbing from A Famosa fort till we reached the top of the hills which located the ruined church with tombstones and statue of Francis Xavier.
one of the main attraction at the Red Square in Melaka Raya. you need to climb up flights of stairs to reach the top of the hill where u will be able to see the tablets from hundreds of years ago and a panoramic view of melaka city. Definitely worth the efforts to climb up!!
The St. Paul's Mountain in Malacca is the main attraction here, and there is a famous St. Paul's Church on the top of the mountain. At the same time, it is also a pastry in Malacca, overlooking the entire ancient city of Malacca is very beautiful, don't miss it.
This local called BUKIT MELAKA, translated into "Melaka Mountain" does not seem to be accurate.
Why is St Paul's Hill Important?Many reasons. For the Malays, this is the original area of the Malacca Sultanate palace. For Christians, this is not only the oldest church in Malaysia. But this hill was used as the base for the spread of Christianity throughout Southeast Asia.
The church loacted at St Paul Hill and is one of the oldest church in southeast asia built by a Portugese Captain on 1521..
