This brief sequence features one of Macau's best known landmarks - the Ruins of St. Pauls Church. Built from 1602 to 1640 by the Jesuits, it was one of the largest Catholic churches in Asia at the time. It was destroyed by a fire during a typhoon in 1835. In 2005, the ruins were officially listed as part of the Historic Centre of Macau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
