The historic center of Macau is inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2006. With our short period of time in Macau, we visited the symbolic of Macau, Ruins of St. Paul’s, Na Tcha temple, St. Dominic’s Church, and Senado Square, of which they are close to each other.
The Ruins of St. Paul’s refer to the façade of what was originally the Church of Mater Dei built in 1602-1640, destroyed by fire in 1835, and the ruins of St.Paul’s college, which stood adjacent to the church.
Na Tcha Temple and section of the old city wall stand close to the remains of the church.
St. Dominic’s Church was the first church founded in China in 1587 by three Spanish Dominican priests who originally came from Acapulco in Mexico, now it has been modified into a small Museum of Sacred Art.
Senado Square has been Macau's urban center for centuries and is still the most popular venue for public events and celebrations today. It is also shopping area for Macau people and tourists especially brand-name fashion clothings and accessories.
