About St Paul's Church
St Paul's Church was built by the Portuguese between 1566 and 1590 on the summit of St Paul's Hill, and is described as the oldest European building east of India. Under the Dutch it became their main church until Christ Church was finished, and it has been a roofless ruin for a long time.
Large Dutch and Portuguese tombstones stand against its walls, and there are views over the old town and the sea. A Mass is still held here on the first Saturday of December for the feast of St Francis Xavier.
