The most classic landmark of Macao is, beyond doubt, the Ruins of St. Paul's. Some even thought that, if you have not visited the Ruins of St. Paul’s, you have never been to Macao. The ruins are the southern stone façade of the Church of Mater Dei. The first-ever Western university in the Far East, St. Paul’s College, was constructed beside the Church. Along with Fortaleza do Monte, the three buildings created a scene as a whole. To one’s sorrow, a fire in 1835 destroyed the Church, leaving only the façade and stone steps. 

Troy, an ancient city located in today’s northwestern Turkey, was seized by Spartan and Achaean warriors from Greece in the 13th or 12th century B.C. This historical fact was immortalized by Homer in the Iliad, which has served as an inspiration to artistic creations ever since. Based on the excavation discoveries from the famous German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, there is a historical core to the ancient city and the war, which most scholars now accept.
