There it is - Ruins of St Paul
Only a magnificent stone façade and grand staircase remain of the iconic Church of St. Paul's.
The church was built in 1602 next to the Jesuit College of St. Paul's, the first Western college in Asia where missionaries studied Chinese before serving at the Ming Court in Beijing as astronomers and mathematicians.
In 1835, a fire razed both the college and the church, leaving only the dramatic façade standing in four colonnaded tiers, complete with carvings and statues. elements. Today, many music performances are held at the Ruins of St. Paul's
This lady statue posed rather provocatively on a low stone wall with her dog in the Company of Jesus Square.
Behind the facade
This is what is left of the church and preserved.

Na Tchah Temple and a section of old city wall constructed in 1569. During that turbulent period, the Chinese government opposed the construction of city walls and they were broken down a number of times, although the incumbent Portuguese administration continued its construction until 1632 when the city walls and fortresses in the north of the city were reconstructed. A map from that period reveals that other than the Inner Harbour in the west Macau was totally ringed by walls and fortifications. Today, the remaining wall measures just 18.5m long, 5.6m high and roughly 1m wide.
