St. Paul's Church on Residency Hill. Originally built as "Our Lady on the Hill" chapel in 1571 by Portuguese Captain Duarte Coelho. The Dutch later used it as the burial ground for their noble dead. The church was renamed 'St. Paul's Church'. Only the massive walls of the church and the gate of the Portuguese fortress 'Porta de Santiago' at the foot of the hill remain today.
