Navigators' landmark, Malacca.

Saint Paul Church served as a landmark for navigators in history. The European ketches once rode anchor beside the Malay perahu or sampan , while vessels from the Straits of Malacca would take note of their landmark, Saint Paul Church. The Malacca River or Sungai Melaka still flow down to the harbour, separating the major old areas from the fort of Saint Paul. Go to the old areas when you're in Malacca !
