What are the interesting places in Macau?

St Paul's Cathedral Site St Paul's Cathedral is located on a hill near Daba Street in Macau. St Paul's Church was built in 1637. The whole church embodies the combination of European Renaissance architectural style and oriental architectural characteristics, and it was the largest Catholic church in the East at that time. 18 in 35, St. Paul's church was destroyed by a fire, leaving only the front wall. Because its shape is similar to the traditional memorial archway in China, it is named "Big March 8th Monument Square".
