Macau, China I The Cathedral of Sao Paulo church in Macau was destroyed by fire in 1835. Only the Baroque facade remains. The crypt has been recently rebuilt in a contemporary style. This was taken from the upper level of a double height chapel, lit by skylights above. The notches in the wall hold various relics, including St. Xaxier's arm bone. Anyone know who the architects are?
