Senado Square, UNESCO World Heritage Square in central Macau, China
The elongated triangular square spans 3,700 square meters, surrounded by neo-classical buildings featuring Portuguese-style mosaic pavements and a central fountain.
The square, named after Leal Senado, served as a meeting point between Chinese and Portuguese communities from the 16th to 18th centuries.
The buildings around the square showcase a combination of Portuguese and Chinese architectural elements, including the Leal Senado Building and Sam Kai Vui Kun temple.
The square functions as a pedestrian zone, connecting Largo do São Domingos with Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro through multiple shopping and dining establishments.
Portuguese pavement patterns form wave-like designs across the square, leading visitors through a collection of pastel-colored colonial structures.

Macau captivates with its contrasts. In a single day, you can go from a Portuguese quarter with cobblestone streets to a hidden temple behind a staircase, and then to a futuristic hotel lit up like a film set. The city combines baroque facades, grand casinos, and quiet gardens where a few tai chi practitioners are seen. Between Coloane and Cotai, each district offers a different vibe that attracts travelers looking for striking photos and unique urban scenes. This selection features the most photogenic sites in Macau, from colonial heritage to coastal views.
