The Church of Saint Paul in Malacca City, Malaysia, is a historic church dating back to 1521. Originally built by a Portuguese nobleman named Duarte Coelho, the church was initially a simple chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Hill (Nossa Senhora do Oiteiro). Later, it was extended into a full-fledged church and rededicated to Saint Paul by the Jesuits in 1548. The church sits atop St. Paul's Hill, offering a panoramic view of Malacca City and the Strait of Malacca.
