[World Heritage] A quiet church with a Portuguese breeze⛪️✨

St. Augustine Church, located in the Historic District of Macau, is a historic Catholic church built in the 16th century.

It features a cute yellow and white exterior, and strongly retains the appearance of the Portuguese colonial period. Although it is within walking distance of Senado Square, which is crowded with tourists, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the square and spend a calm time praying quietly. 🌿

The interior is simple yet solemn.

The design of the altar and the light shining through the beautiful stained glass are particularly mystical and calming. ✨

This is also the starting point of the "Macau Lenten Procession", and solemn religious events are held here, especially during Easter.

It is about a 5-minute walk from Senado Square. 🚶♀️
Entry is free, making it perfect for stopping by between sightseeing.

There are few people, especially in the morning and evening, so you can enjoy the atmosphere of the church at your leisure. Why not spend a peaceful moment in this place surrounded by history and silence?
