Located at the highest point in Banda Hilir, if you at the Porta de Santiago (A Famosa Fortress), look up and you can find the step to a hill with an old ruins at the top of the hill.

From the ruins, only the walls and gravestones are left of this church built by the Portuguese in 1521 and named “Nossa Senhora Da Annunciada” (Our Lady of Annunciation ).
