Ruins of St. Paul's

  Dating back to the early 17th century, Ruins of St. Paul's is an iconic landmark in the heart of Macau, specifically in the Monte district. Originally part of the Church of St. Paul, this site is a striking example of Baroque architecture, famously reduced to its façade after a fire in 1835. Visitors can explore the intricate stonework and enjoy panoramic views from the adjacent mount, which provides a glimpse into Macau's colonial past. Each year, especially during the festive month of December, the area buzzes with activities and events that celebrate its rich heritage. Take a moment to snap photos of the impressive façade while wandering through the nearby narrow streets lined with shops and eateries.
