TRAVEL TO PLACES: MACAU THE RUINS OF SAINT PAUL'S

My Personal Experience: I went to The Ruins of Saint Paul's last November 26, 2014, together with my sister and her husband. We were lucky to find this place as this is one of the landmarks in Macau without a map and no idea of going. This iconic place in Macau was highlight of the trip where we got lost but found new home with friends and strangers.













The Ruins Of Saint Paul's
Arguably Macau’s most famous landmark, the Ruins of St. Paul’s was officially listed in 2005 as part of the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Historic Centre of Macau. Originally built in the 16th century, the complex of St. Paul’s College and the Cathedral of St. Paul burned down and was rebuilt multiple times before the third and final fire during a typhoon in 1835 left it beyond repair. All that remains are the iconic stone façade and the grand staircase leading to it. Admission to the museum is free every day between 9am and 6pm.
