I love these colonial buildings! They add so much depth and texture to the cityscape! :banana:

Interesting thread!

But are you sure this one is really Portuguese?

http://www.uploadimages.net/images/59994499893912DStJOp_ph.jpg

I think it looks more like some French or English style. But we've algo got stuff like this in Brazil too. Macau could be in Brazil! :D

I wonder if you can still find Portuguese speakers in the city's streets...

the legislative building was a HOSPITAL before right? Santa Casa de Misericórdia is the name of hospitals supported by the catholic church I think (it means Holy House of Mercy)

I don't know is the legislative building was a hopital before .. im not sure coz macau have only two hospitals and both are over 100 years of history if i do not remember wrong, and it's locate far away from this area

i can see it now
but the building is not open to public
so i cant go there to have a look

I've a book called: aerial views of Macau! is very cool! :)

Is the book written in Chinese ??

In fact, Santa Casa da Misericordia only exists in Portugal and ex-Portuguese colonies, although it is a atholic organisation . That's why you know it in Brazil.. but if you ask someone from SPain or Mexico , they won't have a clue.

I really like Macao.. it's a very beautiful city .. and I find that most of those Portuguese-style buildings have a somewhat "oriental" touch. Moreover, they are very CLEAN, and well-kept. Maybe POrtugal should learn something with Macao, in terms of Historical buildings preservation

GOA in India, is also famous for it's Portuguese style architecture.

you have pics Madhusudhan?

Much of Portugal's monuments and historical buildings have been renovated or will be in the next 10 years due to a financial programme put into action some weeks ago.

is it true that there is a plan to destroy the POrtuguese School of Macau (former Pedro Nolasco School, built in 1966, project by Portuguese Modernist Raul Chorão Ramalho) ? That would be very sad news.. :(
