Macau

The Ruins of St. Paul's, also known as the Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral, is Macau’s most iconic landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally part of the 17th-century College of St. Paul—a Jesuit seminary and educational institution—the Baroque-style facade is all that remains of a grand complex destroyed by fire in 1835. Blending European Christian motifs with Chinese cultural symbols, it symbolizes Macau’s role as a historic bridge between East and West.

The Venetian Macao, inspired by the romantic city of Venice, is Asia’s premier integrated resort and one of the largest casinos globally. Opened in 2007 by Las Vegas Sands Corp., it spans 10.5 million square feet, blending Italian Renaissance architecture with Macau’s East-West cultural fusion. A cornerstone of Macau’s “Cotai Strip,” it symbolizes the city’s evolution into a global gaming and tourism hub. The resort features a replica of Venice’s Grand Canal, 3,000+ luxury hotel suites, and a 15,000-seat arena, earning its reputation as a “city within a city.”
