The ruins of St. Paul's Hill, a site that lures many tourists whole year long. St. Paul's Hill has grave stones dating back to the 16th century and the carvings seen here is of European design. St. Francis Xavier died in 1552 in Malacca but his body was later laid to rest in Goa, India. A statue in his honor erected in 1953 stands on the hill overlooking the orange tiled roofs of the town. This place is now a major landmark in his city.
