Part of UNESCO world heritage site . Love the sight of the remains of St Paul Church . Lots of shops around the site to explore. A must to visit in Macau.

Maria Ellen Llorando

It's pretty beautiful and has historic values, but the fire only left one wall for us to see. There's a small museum there, displaying several paintings and statues .

Dave Mc

The ruins are amazing, It's great to see the remnants of the architecture , but it makes you wish we could keep sites like this better intact.

The standing facade of St Paul's Church . Beautiful and you can enter to see the crypt too but please be silent. Very crowded when tour groups come.

Chriszy Karunungan

Crowded during daytime. One of the place you can visit in Macau besides its Casino 's. 30-40 HKD taxi ride from Venetian. Pass by square first before heading to St Paul Ruins

Matt Ta-Min

One of the historic must see sights in Macau. It does get really crowded with tourists though. The old paved steps leading up to the ruins are lined with loads of touristy snack shops.

Passavon Ball

Great place for my macau trip . You can have a chill and calm time with boiled fishball and tsingtao beer in front of the ruin during the night that is safe and beuatiful. I miss that time so much ;)

Mauro de Oliveira

Amazing area of the city !

Magdalena Weiner

Tones of people but this is Macau .mix of Hong Kong, China +crumbles of Portugal .unique .and a useful tip:no toilet paper in public toilets ;)self service machines outside to purchase the tissues:)

The historic center of macau. Just walk from senado square , find this ruin, and continue your histical walk to the castle at the top of the hill . How picturesque places

The Ritz-Carlton

One of Macau’s best-known landmarks , this site is listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site , with elements dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

You must visit this historical place when you are in Macau ! Sit on the steps and don't miss to take a few photos.

Marvz Ben

It gets crowded every day. Try to visit the ruins by late afternoon so you can get good shots.

Christina Djaja

Take the picture from the bottom of the stairs instead from the top. Its easier to get the whole church in the picture

Kyo Song

Try taking a photo to the right side, less people in your way and directly in your shot of the facade.

Janell Alexander

There is always a lot of people around. But good place to visit for short gateway and nice egg tart to taste.

Katie Farquhar

A must when visiting Macau. Beautiful - make sure to walk up to the top.

Johanna Lois

Dont forget to fill your tummies with "free taste" food on the way to the ruins. Their tapa is the best!

Ling Ling

When you stand in front of it and facing the opposite, you'll notice the great view of it

John Quioco

In your way up to the Church , you'll pass by many shops in which you can buy "Pasalubongs" especially the marked down price perfumes. Chinese New Year is the best time to shop here.

Napat SingGolden

Love it here. Walking up hill is really worth it!

William Rivero

Don't eat ahead when you come here. There are plenty bakeries at the foot of the ruins that offer their delicacies as you climb up. Oh, bring water:)

Krish Purnawarman

Old portugese church that got burnt down, alot of tourist taking picture, small alleys, something to do with chinese and portugese past relationship.

Bexmae Jumao-as

You better be early for a decent shot or a sea of people will overwhelm you. Dont wear samba shoes here as the road is slippery

rossalyn asmarantika

Don’t go during weekends, too crowdy. But if you do, there’s a pathway to pass thru with just some people around ????
