Saint Paul's Church is a historic church building in Malacca City, Malaysia, that was originally built from 1566 to 1590.[1] It is the oldest European building east of India. It is located on the summit of St. Paul's Hill.
Every year, the church will be used for feast day mass on the first Saturday of December in honour of the feast day of St Francis Xavier. The tradition was started by a priest from the church of St francis Xavier Melaka since 1922.
