An iconic Church which is out of ytourist hotpots. Making it best for taking photos. Sublime view of Macau. Only bad thing is that you need to walk uphill or taxi doesn't passby that place that often.

Considered Macau’s most famous landmark, the ruins of this 16th-century cathedral features a spectacular façade with intricate carvings by Japanese monks.

One of the iconic landmark in Macau with great history. It's highly suggested to walk from the Senado Square via Macau museum where you get the best view / photo of Macau city and Ruins of St Paul's. The museum underneath the Ruin is worth to visit too.
5. Monte Forte (Fortaleza do Monte)

Built in the 16th century by the Jesuits and later used as a military base, this fort today features a public park, an observatory and the Macau Museum.

The Macau Museum is spread over multiple levels atop the Monte Fort - great city views by the way. Escalators get you to the top for this no fee attraction which contains well curated displays of Macau's colonial and Chinese heritage. Essentially, you work your way from floor to floor to peruse artworks, static display, dioramas & AV prentations covering the history of Macau. Everything from a traditional Chinese bridal bed to memorabilia from the long defunct Macau fireworks factories. Very worth while.

This Catholic Church was one of the stops on our day trip to Macau. The church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and construction was completed in 1587. The exterior is a bright yellow and white - Our guide told us that the buildings are repainted every year/every other year. The statue of the Madonna is carried through the streets of Macau prior to one of the holy days.

I really like this place. It is very quiet. It is very Portuguese. You can seat and relax and have a nice cone of ice cream. The streets are charming and covered with cobblestone. The Church of Saint Augustine, the Theatre of Don Pedro V, the Library of Sir Robert Ho Tung, and the St. Joseph's seminar are around the square. Everything is free. It is located in the southern end of Macau. This area is not crowded at all and therefore it is nicer to visit than the northern site. It is very easy to arrive to the square. The directions are very clear.

If you feel bored with all you can do within the large casinos, Rua do Cunha is a place that gives you an escape out of the hotels. Making friends and enjoy the local heritage... and more.... have fun!
