Ruins of St Paul's Church
All that remains of St Paul's Church is its magnificent stone façade. Built out of wood in 1602, it was destroyed by fire in 1835. The ruins are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau.
The carved stone façade was built from 1620-27 under the direction of Italian Jesuit Carlo Spinola. It rises in four colonnaded tiers and is covered with carvings and statues. Representations include Christian, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese imagery and pious warnings in Chinese. After renovations in 1995, a Museum of Sacred Art was built behind the ruins which houses paintings, sculptures and religous relics.
