The ruins of St. Paul’s Church at the summit of St. Paul's Hill.
The ruins of St. Paul’s Church was constructed by Portuguese fidalgo (nobleman) captain, Duarte Coelho, in gratitude to the Virgin Mary for saving his life during a storm at sea.
After its construction, St. Paul’s Church was regularly visited by St. Francis Xavier, an active pioneering Catholic missionary of Southeast Asia (he translated the catechism into Malay). He performed several 'miracles' in the church. To this day St. Paul’s Church maintains St. Francis Xavier’s tomb in the centre of the complex.
Armless Statue - A marble statue of St. Francis Xavier, built in 1953. Stories say that when Xavier was to be canonized in 1614 the Vatican demanded the right arm (this was the arm Francis used to bless his converts) from the body. When it was cut off, blood appeared to drip, 6o-odd years after his death; when the marble statue was erected in 1952, on the morning after its consecration a large casuarina tree fell on it severing its right arm.
Visitors enjoyed at the front of the church.
