It includes what was originally St. Paul's College and the catholic Church of St. Paul also known as "Mater Dei", a 17th-century Portuguese church dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle. Today, the ruins are one of Macau's best known landmarks. They are often, but incorrectly, mentioned as a former cathedral (see Macau Cathedral), a status they never had. In 2005, they were officially listed as part of the Historic Centre of Macau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
3. Largo do Senado
The Senado Square, or Senate Square (Portuguese: Largo do Senado; Chinese: 議事亭前地, Cantonese Yale: Yíh Sih Tìhng Chìhn Deih), is a paved town square in Sé, Macau, China and part of the UNESCO Historic Centre of Macau World Heritage Site. It is an elongated triangular shaped square and connects Largo do São Domingos at one end and Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro on the other. It covers an area of 3,700 square meters (4,425 square yards).
The square was named after the Leal Senado, a meeting place for the Chinese and Portuguese in the 16th to 18th centuries, located directly in front of the square, where Leal Senado Building stands today.
In 1940, a small garden was built at the centre of the square, featuring a bronze statue of Vicente Nicolau de Mesquita standing above a stone pillar pulling out a sword. The statue was pulled down in the 12-3 incident as Mesquita was responsible for the deaths of many Qing Chinese soldiers. A fountain was built at its site and still stands today. Vast majority of the buildings around the square are European styled and many are protected monuments. The square used to allow traffic and parking lots were present, with increasing number of tourists the entire area was covered by Portuguese pavement in the early 1990s and designated a pedestrian-only zone.
Many large events in Macau were hosted on the square, this include festival celebrations, flea markets and performances. The governors of Macau also used to inspect their troops there. A number of Hong Kong films in the 1950s and 1960s had scenes shot at the square.
The 2005 100 patacas note issued by the Banco Nacional Ultramarino features the square on its obverse side.
4. Leal Senado Building
The Leal Senado Building (Portuguese for Loyal Senate) was the seat of Portuguese Macau's government (Legislative Assembly of Macau and Municipal Council of Macau). It is located at one end of the Senado Square in São Lourenço, Macau, China. The title was bestowed on Macau's government in 1810 by Portugal's Prince Regent João, who later became King John VI of Portugal. This was a reward for Macau's loyalty to Portugal, which refused to recognise Spain’s sovereignty during the Philippine Dynasty that it occupied Portugal, between 1580 and 1640. A plaque ordered by the king commemorating this can still be seen inside the entrance hall.
A Chinese-style Pavilion used to stand on the site of Leal Senado
building. That building was then a meeting place for the Portuguese and
the Chinese officials,and where the Ming dynasty government would
announce regulations to Macau. The Portuguese planned to buy the
pavilion as early as 1583, as well as some Chinese houses behind it.
However, it wasn't until 1784 that the Portuguese government finally
purchased it at a price of 80,000 taels.
The Leal Senado building itself was built after the purchase, and became
the center of Macau's politics since then. Portuguese rallies and
celebrations were also held here. Although built in 1784, it was in a
style similar to plain style from 14th- to 15th-century Portugal than
the Pombaline style that was popular at the time when the Leal Senado
was built. A number of institutions were affiliated to the building,
including a museum of Luís Vaz de Camões, a post office, a court and a
prison, yet all had moved elsewhere.
It was completely refurbished in 1904. In 1936 the building was damaged
again by another typhoon. After the handover of Macau to China in 1999
it became the headquarters of the Institute of Civic and Municipal
Affairs. It became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic
Centre of Macau in 2005.
