Basilica of St Paul (são Paulo)

A short walk from Largo do Senado along cobbled lanes is the broad stone staircase leading to the beautiful ruins of St Paul. The original 1602 church was destroyed by a fire in 1835 but is still considered a symbol of Macau. The crypt and nave house a religious museum.

Do & See

Macau is based on a peninsula with a couple of islands including Taipa and Colôane. Most of the sights including St. Dominic's Church and Basilica of St Paul are packed around a few blocks in the old core around Largo do Senado, a good starting point of your tour.
