The Ruins of St. Paul's (also known as Sam Ba Sing Tzik)
stands adjacent to the famous Mount Fortress and
Macau Museum. The front façade and the grand stone
stairs are the only remains of the greatest church.
First constructed in 1580, St. Paul's Church caught
fires in 1595 and 1601. However, reconstruction started in
1602 soon after the church was burnt down. Completed in
1637, the church became the biggest Catholic Church in
East Asia at that time. Unfortunately, a violent typhoon hit
Macau in 1835 and the church caught fire for the third
time leaving its glory a history. According to historical
materials, St Paul's Church, built with white stones, had a
grand vaulted roof and 3 magnificently decorated halls.
