Comments

  • An interesting ruin located in the older portions of the city, on streets lined with small quaint shops that offer a variety of things. A nice area to visit and lounge around in.
  • You will feel here that you are landed in Goa(India). But historical monuments are well preserved in Goa than Macau.This is only a facade of cathedral and the building is ruined.
