Macau's Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty is a dramatic gate perched on a
hill 26m above sea level, smack in the middle of the city. A sweep of stairs
with landings and balustrades take you to it, and then to nowhere. Once part of a
17th-century Jesuit church destroyed in a fire, the facade, with fine carvings and de-
tailed engravings featuring Christian, Chinese and Japanese influences, is a captiv-
ating historical fragment and a document in granite of Macau's unique Mediterrasi-
an culture.
