Once you reach the top of the hill from the A'Fomosa, there is St Paul's Church. There is a small tower and statue of St Francis Xavier that was built long after the church was constructed. The walls of the church remain intact but much of the roof is no longer there and you can see the sky above from inside. You can walk around the church and observe the view down the hill.
Personally the view from the hilltop is not that spectacular. However, the top does give an all round view of the surrounding areas. You can observe the the Dutch-built Stadthuys buildings, Portuguese built A'Formosa, low rise buildings built during the British colonial era and the Melaka River. Further on, you can observe the Melaka Megamall - not much of a historical site but one of the larger shopping malls in Melaka.
