Stepping Back in Time

#familytrips2024 The Church of St. Paul in Malacca is like stepping back in time. Perched on top of St. Paul's Hill, it's a historical treasure trove. Once a fortress built by the Portuguese in the 16th century, it later became a church under Dutch rule. The church may be in ruins now, but its weathered walls and moss-covered tombstones whisper stories of a bygone era. The climb up the hill is worth it for the panoramic views alone, but exploring the church adds a whole new layer of fascination. Inside, you'll find remnants of its rich past – from intricate tombstones to a majestic statue of St. Francis Xavier, who once called this place home. It's a serene spot for reflection and a poignant reminder of Malacca's multicultural heritage.
