Former Leal Senado Building
Facing Senado Square, Macau’s former municipal chamber pairs a formal civic façade with a courtyard and library inside. The exterior and the square work especially well as one stop.
Why go
The building gives Senado Square its civic counterpart to the churches and charitable institutions nearby. Its neoclassical front marks the old municipal seat, while the rear courtyard and carved library reveal a quieter interior side. Visit for the contrast between the public square and the rooms behind the façade.
What to look for
The neoclassical façade faces Senado Square.
A rear courtyard lies behind the street front.
