Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macau
Although Macau may now be known for its casinos and luxury shopping, the old town pays homage to its Portuguese roots. This historic facade known as the Ruins of St. Paul’s was once one of the largest Catholic churches in Asia. It now sits restored and preserved in the center of this modern city, a relic of a time when Christianity was still expanding to new territory.
The ruins give off an aura that would be right at home in a Da Vinci Code thriller novel, potentially guarding a hidden secret. Sadly, there are no underground labyrinths to explore or alters to light at candle at. It is still only a facade, a beautiful one at that.
