Ruins of St. Paul

The Ruins of St. Paul, a prominent landmark in Macau, stand as the remnants of a church originally built in 1602 and later destroyed by fire in 1835. Today, only the striking stone façade and the grand staircase leading up to it remain. These ruins are an integral part of the Historic Center of Macau, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can ascend the stairs to admire the intricate carvings and architectural details that have withstood the test of time, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich colonial past.
