Why go
The square brings several layers of Macau into one view: Portuguese-style paving, pastel civic façades and routes toward St Dominic’s Church and the Ruins of St. Paul’s. It is best experienced as a crossroads for exploring the centre, with the former Leal Senado and Holy House of Mercy close at hand.
What to look for
- Wave-patterned paving covers the square.
- Pastel neoclassical buildings enclose the open space.
- The former Leal Senado and Holy House of Mercy face the square.
Useful to know
