RUINS OF ST. PAUL’S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH (WORLD HERITAGE):
The ruins of St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church are a must-go attraction in Macau. This church caught fire three times and was rebuilt after each fire. It can be considered a living testimony. It has been a World Heritage landmark since 2005.

ST. DOMINIC’S CHURCH Founded in 1587 by three Spanish Dominican priests who originally came from Acapulco in Mexico, this church is also connected to the Brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary. It is famous for its magnificent altar, decorated wooden ceiling, and treasury of statues and other sacred art.
SENADO SQUARE
Senado Square has been Macao’s urban center for centuries and is still the most popular venue for public events and celebrations today. The square is surrounded by pastel-colored neo-classical buildings, creating a consistent and harmonious Mediterranean atmosphere.
LEAL SENADO BUILDING
Originally built in 1784, this was Macao’s first municipal chamber, a function it maintains to the present. The “Leal Senado” Building is neo-classical in design and has retained all its original master walls and primary layout, including the courtyard garden in the back.
GENERAL POST OFFICE BUILDING
Adjacent to Senado Square, the historic building once housed the local charitable society Tung Sin Tong. The architecture was designed by José Chan, the first Chinese chief architect appointed by the Macao Land and Sea Public Works Department. Built in 1929, it’s a classical architecture of great artistic value. You can buy your favorite stamps and postcards and mail to your beloved ones, making your visit more meaningful.
