St. Lawrence’s Church Macao

MACAO WORLD HERITAGE・CHURCHES St. Lawrence's Church #world HERITAGE#religion Built by the Jesuits in the mid-16th century, this is one of the three oldest churches in Macao. Its present appearance and scale was acquired in 1846. Situated on the southern coastline of Macao overlooking the sea, families of Portuguese sailors used to gather on the front steps of the church to pray and wait for their return, hence it was given the name: Feng Shun Tang (Hall of the Soothing Winds). The neighbourhood where the church is located used to be fairly wealthy, thus explaining the building's scale and wealth of architectural treatment. It is a neo-classical structure, with subtle Baroque decorative inspirations.#fallingforfall #tripblazers #spooktaculartrip

Macau | "Fengxintang" St. Lawrence Church

The Church of St. Lawrence, Igreja de São Lourenço, established in the mid-16th century, is one of the three oldest churches in Macau. The academic view is that the church was built before 1569, underwent multiple reconstructions, and its current scale was formed in 1846. Chinese people call it "Fengxintang", and it is also known as "Fengshuntang" in Cantonese due to its homophonic sound. It carries the meaning of praying for "favorable wind and rain". It is now a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Historic Centre of Macao. On the front facade of the building, the left wing is a clock and the right wing is a bell tower. In the center of the hall, there is a statue of St. Lorenzo on the main altar. On both sides, there are small chapels, forming a cross shape when viewed from above. 📍Fengshun Tang Street, Fengshun Tang District, Macau 🕙Monday to Friday 07:00-18:00, Saturday and Sunday 07:00-21:00 💰Free 📷2022.12.24
