" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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 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. "

" 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 "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "
