St. Paul’s Church Ruins

Thursday, May 1, 2008
Macau

Built in the late 1500s, then burned to the ground in 1835, this is the most sought after site in Macau. The stone wall is only the beginning; you can see the original footings, some of the crypts, and other remains of the old cathedral while walking what was the original interior. You can’t help but feel the chills when seeing this monolithic facade standing in defiance of what destroyed the rest of the church.
