Sikka is an old village where the first kingdom of the district first time developed. All people in village became Christian when The King named Don Alesu was baptisted in Malaka. On his way back Don Allesu brought a cross from Portuguese and one Statue of Jesus, then he built  a chapel to put the cross and the statue in it.

Located on Keling Hill – Sikka Regency Flores, (10 km from the town) a statue of St. Marry of 28 m, supported by four columns in traditional motif of Sikkanese Ikat Weaving, gives us more inspiration and spirit to have more relax and happy. 

Along to the top of the hill we will see on the left and right side of the road, the statue of Jesus Passion. (at about 2 km from the first stage until the last one).

On the top of Hill there is a big cross of Jesus, where we can pray, and see beautiful view around. To the west we can see Kimang Buleng Mountain, to the north and east  we have beautiful scenery of Coastal area of North Sea and Maumere town.
