St. Paul’s Cathedral in Macau, known for its iconic facade, is said to be inspired by the New Cathedral of Coimbra in Portugal. The Jesuit influence of Coimbra is evident in Macau’s architectural and ecclesiastical development. Both cathedrals share similarities in their facade design despite being constructed differently. Coimbra’s rich history includes the oldest university in the world and a vibrant contemporary art scene. Despite the city’s historical and architectural significance, it is mistakenly associated with Harry Potter due to its university uniforms resembling Hogwarts robes.
