Landmark
Ruins of Saint Paul's
Macao, China
Only the facade remains of the 17th-century Church of Mater Dei, a masterwork by Jesuit architects. The stone facade, intricately carved with figures, stands stark against the sky after a fire in 1835 reduced everything else. It's an iconic symbol for history buffs, but the crowds clear out towards lunch, offering solitude for those who wait.
