St Paul's Macau, a well known Macau tourist attraction, is a church built in 1602 next to the Jesuit College of St. Paul's, the first Western college in Asia where missionaries studied Chinese before serving at the Ming Court in Beijing as astronomers and mathematicians. In 1835, a fire destroyed both the college and the St Paul's Macau church, leaving only the stone facade and grand staircase which is a unique blend of European Renaissance and Asian architecture. Musical performances are often held on the stairs as a dramatic and natural stage. Museum of Sacred Art and Crypt is within the precincts of the ruins of St. Paul's Macau.
