Only a magnificent stone façade and grand staircase remain of the iconic Church of St. Paul's or Sao Paulo in Macau. The church was built in 1602 next to the Jesuit College of St. Paul's, the first Western college in Asia. 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. The unique architecture of St Paul's Church recalls the style of the Renaissance with a touch of Asian architecture in a mix of Chinese and Western elements.
