Ancient historical place near downtown. You can listen the history of it from the smart man who lives in there. Can take photos and take a rest under the trees.

Thanlyin was the home base of Portuguese mercenary Philip de Brito, who declared independence from his Rakhine masters in 1603 and was impaled in 1613 after Burmese king Anaukpetlun had recaptured the city. De Brito received this special treatment for offences against Buddhism. In an audacious move, De Brito had stolen de Dhammazedi bell from Shwedagon. De Brito’s tomb can be found in the ruins of the “Portuguese” church, built in 1749 by an Italian missionary. The roof is missing, but the walls of the church still stand tall. The area is leafy and some colonial houses can be found nearby. If you are looking for a pleasant escape from the city, this is it. (Source: Myanmore)

Reminds me of Tarkovsky's "Nostalgia".

Immaculate Conception Catholic Church
Historical heritage building. This church was built in 1750. Italian style Church was built in 1750 by Italian missionaries under the supervision of father Paolo Maria Gerini and Barnabite Missionary Angelo Carpelo.
It was destroyed by King Alaungpaya in 1756 during the Mon revolt and the church was destroyed at this time.

It's quite and peace in mind as soon as you are in.

Great to see how the ancient monument is maintained without loosing the sanctity.

Не дивлячись на те що це спадок колністів, руїни в непоганому стані, охороняються дуже привітним персоналом який вам проведе екскурсію. Охоронець не погано володіє англійською і дуже харизматичний.
