St. John’s Fort is located southwest of Bukit Cina.

Sitting atop St. John’s Hill, about three km from Malacca town, the fort was also outfitted with gun embrasures facing the sea. . Besides getting great souvenir photos with the cannons, it is the view from these breezy ruins that make it a great sightseeing spot. It is easy enough to reach these ruins: simply take the road heading east on Jalan Parameswara and turn left into Jalan Bukit Senjuang.

Ancient fort build on a small hill. Overlooking the olde Malacca. Good vista. Good for photography, and well kept grounds. Quiet, you can do yoga here.
