The St. Paul's Ruins, built by the Jesuits in 1602, was destroyed by fire in 1835 except for its stone facade with carvings that tell the story of the Catholic Church in Asia. Admire the carvings, then visit the restored crypt containing relics of Christian martyrs and a Museum of Sacred Art. Cross the road to Monte Fort into which is built the Museum of Macau (with an astonishing range of exhibits to illustrate Macau's bicultural history...open 10am-6pm, closed Monday). Go back down the grand staircase and turn right to follow Rua de S. António, a great street for antiques and reproductions, look for original dragon robes, Ching Dynasty furniture, porcelain, coins, lacquerware, hanging scrolls etc. At the end of the road is St Antony's Church and Camões Square. Cross to the Old Protestant Cemetery (last resting place of 150 merchants, missionaries, seamen and 19th century residents such as artist George Chinnery).
