Itinerary
The focal point of the UNESCO Heritage zone, this attractive and elegant square is surrounded by Dutch-era buildings that have been painted crimson.
Pause for a photo at Porta de Santiago before hiking to the ruined church on St. Paul's Hill. It was built as a Portuguese fortress in 1511; the British took over in 1641 and destroyed it in 1806 to prevent it falling into Napolean's hands. Fortunately, Sir Stamford Raffles arrived in 1810 and saved what remains today.
The evocative and sublime ruin of St Paul's Church crowns the summit of St Paul's Hill overlooking central Malacca. Steep stairs lead up to this faded sanctuary, originally built by a Portuguese captain in 1521. The church was regularly visited by St Francis Xavier, whose marble statue stands in front of the ruin.
The Melaka Straits Mosque is a mosque located on the man-made Malacca Island in Malacca City, Malacca, Malaysia. The construction cost of the mosque was about MYR10 million.
Jonker Street is known worldwide among serious antique collectors as one of the best places to hunt and bargain for antiques.

About Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's vibrant capital, where the Petronas Towers soar over Malay, Chinese and Indian neighbourhoods and renowned street food.
The twin Petronas Towers, linked by a skybridge, define the skyline, with a landscaped park and fountains at their feet. The KL Tower offers a different view from its forested hill, and Merdeka Square, where the national flag was raised at independence, is framed by the Moorish-style Sultan Abdul Samad Building.
Top-ranked sights in Kuala Lumpur: National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
