Known forheritagecolonialiconicarchitecture
The iconic 17th-century Jesuit church facade is Macau's most recognizable landmark, a UNESCO World Heritage site that survived a devastating fire in 1835. Climb the steps for close-up views of the intricate stone carvings blending European Baroque and Asian motifs. The underground crypt and Museum of Sacred Art are genuinely worth exploring. Caveat: the surrounding pedestrian street is aggressively touristy with souvenir stalls and jerky samples being thrust at you.
