Historic Centre of Macau

The Historic Centre encompasses more than twenty locations across two zones, featuring European colonial buildings, Chinese temples, and traditional squares spanning 400 hectares.

Portuguese traders established this settlement in the 16th century as their primary trading port between Europe and East Asia, maintaining control until 1999.

The architectural elements combine Portuguese and Chinese influences through churches, temples, government buildings, and residential structures across the old district.

Visitors can obtain free walking maps at the tourist office near Senado Square to explore all heritage sites within the historic center.

The Ruins of St Paul's stone facade contains both Western religious carvings and Eastern elements like chrysanthemums, Chinese characters, and Japanese designs.
