Originally built in 1784, this was Macao’s original municipal chamber 🏛, a function it maintains to the present. This was a reward for Macao'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. The Leal Senado building is now known as the IAM Building, currently housing Macao's Municipal Affairs Bureau. #MacaoWorldHeritage #ExperienceMacao #FutureMacaoTravels #heritage #unescoworldheritage

St. Anthony's Church is one of the three ancient churches in Macao ⛪ It is a little bit isolated and not as popular as other famous sights, but the church has its own special charm and beauty. Near the church are plenty of cafes and Dim Sum (desserts) shops ☕🧈🥟 that are cheap and wonderful. Visit them in the morning for a late breakfast after a stroll through the city streets 🚶‍♀🚶‍♂ #MacaoWorldHeritage #ExperienceMacao #FutureMacaoTravels #heritage #unescoworldheritage

St. Joseph's Seminary and Church was the principal base for the missionary work implemented in China. It taught an academic curriculum equivalent to that of a university. In 1800, the Portuguese Queen Dona Maria I conferred on it the royal title of “House of the Mission Congregation”. #MacaoWorldHeritage #ExperienceMacao #FutureMacaoTravels #heritage #unescoworldheritage

First established by Spanish Augustinians in 1591, this church maintains the tradition of organizing one of the most popular processions through the city, the Easter Procession, with thousands of devotees. The normal religious service of this church also takes into account an especially strong participation from the local Filipino community. #MacaoWorldHeritage #ExperienceMacao #FutureMacaoTravels #heritage #unescoworldheritage
