St. Paul's Church

Originally named Our Lady of the Hill, this fine church was built by a Portuguese captain named Duarte Coelho. Years later, the Dutch turned the chapel into a burial ground for their noble dead and renamed it St. Paul's Church. St. Francis Xavier's remains were briefly enshrined in the open grave in 1553 before being brought back to Goa, India.
