St. Anthony's Church, Catholic church in Santo António Square, Macau
The church displays a symmetrical neoclassical facade with a bell tower, pilastered walls painted in yellow with white accents, and oval wooden vaults.
Originally constructed from bamboo and wood before 1560, the church underwent multiple reconstructions in stone following fires in 1809 and 1874.
The church received the Chinese name 'Fa Vong Tong' meaning Church of Flowers due to the Portuguese couples who celebrated their marriages there.
Services are held in Cantonese on Tuesdays at 17:30, Portuguese on Sundays at 10:00, and Korean on Saturdays at 16:00.
Every September 22, the church holds a Day of Natural Disaster procession where residents carry Saint Anthony's statue through the streets.
