St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul’s Cathedral stood as an elegant edifice, but the last time it was whole was in the 16^th Century. Now, it lives on as only a façade that boasts of its past glory. The gate is gorgeously decorated with stone carvings of religious figures and symbols that are reflective of the era when it was first built. Since Macau is fairly small, they don’t have a lot of “tourist” spots that don’t include slot machines. As the city develops more and more (primarily because of the casino/gambling business), more people populate this tiny land mass and build higher and wider hotels/casinos. Coming to this quaint church front was a fresh sight from the hotel room (since I’m not 21 and Macau recently passed a new law prohibiting minors from entering casinos) to which I was restricted. Even if I had been able to venture into the casinos, I think I would still have preferred seeing the façade. The complexity and durability of its architecture is amazing, especially if you consider the time periods it has survived.
