Christ Church and Stadthuys

The red Christ Church and Stadthuys are two iconic buildings of Melaka. The church was originally white but it was painted red together with the Stadthuys in 1911. They remain red in colour until today. Coupled with the red clock tower nearby, they form the holy trinity for tourism of Melaka. They are just by the waterfront where the entrance to the famed Jonker walk is just nearby. Therefore, this place is where locals and tourists congregate.

St. Paul's Church

The St. Paul's Church in Melaka is the oldest church building in Malaysia, even more so in Southeast Asia. It was originally built in 1521 by a Portuguese nobleman as a small chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The church was later enlarged to include a second floor in 1556. When the Dutch conquered Melaka in 1641, the church continued to serve as the main church for the Dutch community before they built the Christ Church. What is remain today of the St. Paul's Church are the four masonry walls and some tombstones. Being high up on St. Paul's Hill, the church ground also offers some good vantage points to look at the City of Melaka.
