St. Francis Xavier Church (Bandar Melaka)

Malaysia / Melaka / Bandar Melaka / Jalan Banda Kaba, 12
 1840s construction, Roman Catholic church
A domineering presence in the skyline of Malacca, this twin-spired neo-gothic structure was built on the site of an old Portuguese church by a French priest, Father Farvé, in 1856, in honour of St. Francis Xavier, a prominent 16th-century Catholic missionary also known as ‘Apostle of the East’. Located on Jalan Laksamana, the church’s finishing touches were completed in 1859 by Father Allard, with the present-day presbytery built in 1874.
