Walls of St Paul Church, Heritage site in Santo António, Macau.
The stone facade measures 23 meters wide and 25.5 meters high, featuring detailed carvings and patterns made from granite with three arched entrances.
The original Catholic church, constructed between 1602 and 1640 by Jesuits, experienced multiple fires until 1835 when only the front wall remained standing.
The facade displays a combination of Renaissance architecture with Eastern elements, including carvings of Japanese chrysanthemums and Chinese characters alongside biblical scenes.
Visitors reach the site by taking buses 10, 11, or 3A to Avenida de Almeida Riberio, followed by a short walk up 68 stone steps.
The structure contains burial sites of 250 Korean and Japanese individuals connected to Portuguese trading activities during the colonial period.

Macau captivates with its contrasts. In a single day, you can go from a Portuguese quarter with cobblestone streets to a hidden temple behind a staircase, and then to a futuristic hotel lit up like a film set. The city combines baroque facades, grand casinos, and quiet gardens where a few tai chi practitioners are seen. Between Coloane and Cotai, each district offers a different vibe that attracts travelers looking for striking photos and unique urban scenes. This selection features the most photogenic sites in Macau, from colonial heritage to coastal views.
