The Cathedral of Macau (Catedral Igreja da Sé), also known as the Church of the Birth of Virgin Mary, is located on Cathedral Square in central Macau Peninsula. First built in 1576, it is within the Historic Center of Macau, and was included on the list of World Heritage Sites in 2005. ![]() The Cathedral has a very long history. When first built in 1576, it was a small wooden chapel. In 1623, it was redesigned as a Cathedral. The extension in 1849 and the reconstruction in 1937 gave it a magnificent appearance which remains today. Whenever the local Catholics have any big celebrations, they hold them in the Macau Cathedral, showing the importance of the Cathedral in Macau people’s heart. ![]() >>Macau Tower 360 Cafe Buffet Dinner<<You can enjoy ur food with such attractive sightseeing.
Visitors arrive at the spectacular facade after passing by a small fountain and a cross on the square in front of the Cathedral. The Cathedral consists of a main building and the Bell Tower. The main building has just one floor with a sloping roof and wooden truss. With a 39 feet (12 meters) high symmetrical-styled facade, the main building is constructed in typical neoclassical style.
The main body of the Cathedral has an oblong shape, with a transept with chapels on each side. There are wooden Portuguese folding screens at the entrance to the Cathedral. With light green as the interior color, the indoor decoration of the main shrine basically keeps the reconstruction details of 1937, concise and majestic. The magnificent buildings and solemn atmosphere make people feel peaceful and equable in mind. Over and above its influence and attraction to Catholics, even a nonbeliever would be in awe standing in the Cathedral.![]() |
