The Ruins of St Paul’s are the ruins of a complex from 16th-century including St Paul College and St Paul Cathedral. Built from 1582 to 1602 by the Jesuits, the cathedral was destroyed by a fire during a typhoon in 1835. The southern stone facade is the only part still up. The wall sits on a small hill. Behind the facade are remain of the original pillars ans a shrine.

In 2005, they were officially enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau.
