Itinerary
Pause for a photo at Porta de Santiago before hiking to the ruined church on St. Paul's Hill. It was built as a Portuguese fortress in 1511; the British took over in 1641 and destroyed it in 1806 to prevent it falling into Napolean's hands. Fortunately, Sir Stamford Raffles arrived in 1810 and saved what remains today.

The evocative and sublime ruin of St Paul's Church crowns the summit of St Paul's Hill overlooking central Malacca. Steep stairs lead up to this faded sanctuary, originally built by a Portuguese captain in 1521. The church was regularly visited by St Francis Xavier, whose marble statue stands in front of the ruin.

Malaysia's oldest still-operating Chinese temple, constructed in 1673, remains a central place of worship for the Buddhist and Taoist communities here. Traditional methods were used throughout, from the ornate roof ceramics to the painted tigers by the door. Though the temple is dedicated to Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy, it is also a multifaith temple, with Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian elements and effigies.
