St. Francis Xavier Church
See the twin spires of St. Francis Xavier Church, a Neo-Gothic church built in honor of a prominent 16th-century missionary. Try to spot the building's slight lean to the left and enter the airy interior to admire the stained glass windows. Step into the churchyard to discover a statue of St. Francis Xavier and his Japanese disciple Yajiro. For St. Francis Xavier Church and beyond, use our Melaka day trip tool to get the most from your Melaka vacation.

An old church with a lot of history tied to Melaka and the region. It's clean and well maintained. The church offers services to its local Christian community, and it's a good place for local and foreign tourists to visit to understand the history of ancient Melaka and it's often turbulent history of colonialism and ethnicity. The church offers a glimpse of history that should never be forgotten especially among Malaysians.

Beatiful church! Especially when lit during the evening it stands out!
