Historic Centre of Macau – Senado Square

Known forheritagePortuguesecolonialiconic
The wave-patterned mosaic piazza surrounded by pastel Portuguese colonial buildings is the civic heart of old Macau and a UNESCO World Heritage ensemble. Stroll the square and the connecting lanes to find the Leal Senado building, whose interior courtyard and library are open to the public and largely overlooked by tourists. Best visited on a weekday morning before tour groups arrive. Caveat: weekend afternoons become extremely congested.
