Ruins of St. Paul's Arch< /p>

Macau’s landmark Ruins of St. Paul’s is a must-see for tourists. Since a fire in 1835, St. Paul's Church, which was originally a combination of Chinese and Western styles, has become a ruin with only the front wall. St. Paul's Church was the largest Catholic church in the East at that time, known as the "Vatican of the East" and was affiliated with St. Paul's College. The college was the first Western-style university in the Far East. From its establishment in 1594 to its end in 1762, many foreign missionaries who visited China came to study Chinese, making the college an important missionary base for these missionaries to enter China and play a vital role in promoting European and China's religious and cultural exchanges play an incomparable and outstanding role.

After the church became a ruin, because the front wall was similar to a traditional Chinese archway, and "Saint Paul" was transliterated from Portuguese (S?o Paulo) into Chinese, it was called "Sanba". The name of Sanba Archway. The architecture of the archway is in Baroque style and has obvious oriental carvings, including peony and chrysanthemum patterns representing China and Japan, making it unique among Catholic churches around the world.

Although the Ruins of St. Paul's has lost its actual function as a church, it is closely related to the lives of Macau people. Various cultural activities are held here from time to time. The long steps in front of the archway become natural seats, turning the archway into a huge set in an instant, and the stage is completely natural. I believe that people who lived in Macau hundreds of years ago would never have imagined that this church would become an ideal outdoor venue for cultural activities.

From the iron ladder behind the archway, you can go directly to the second floor of the archway. Standing here and looking out, it's as if you were standing in St. Paul's Church and overlooking the lives of the people in the small town. You must experience it yourself to appreciate this special feeling.

After visiting the archway, you can go to the Catholic Art Museum in the inner square. The museum collects representative paintings and sculptures from Macau churches and monasteries. The most precious ones are a collection of religious life-themed works. oil paintings, which are the first paintings from the Far East and the oldest oil paintings in the East. The tomb next door also stores the remains of Japanese and Vietnamese martyrs, showing the religious history of Macau.
