The Civil Affairs Department Building is the most representative building in Macau. It is located in the busy heart of Macau. It is located in a conference Pavilion of a Chinese Pavilion in history. It read out government orders for the Ming Dynasty government and served as a meeting place for Chinese and Portuguese officials. Built in 1784, the former city hall has a Portuguese garden behind it, a celestial garden and a bust of the Portuguese poet James. At present, there are two free guided services (45 minutes each, 5 minutes at halftime) in the Civil Affairs Department Building from 3 p.m. to 4.35 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

    The location of the Macau Civil Affairs Administration Building is a historically Chinese-style pavilion building, which reads government orders for the Ming Dynasty government and serves as a venue for Chinese and Portuguese officials to meet. In 1784 (Qing Qianlong 49), the Portuguese purchased the site and built a Portuguese-style council building, which became the local political heart of Macau, where all municipal matters, as well as Portuguese rallies and celebrations, were held. It has been rebuilt many times, and the current scale was formed when it was rebuilt in 1874, with obvious Southern European architectural artistic characteristics.

    The Leal Senado Building is neoclassical in design and has retained all its original master walls and primary layout, including the courtyard garden in the back

    The building has the characteristics of Southern European architecture and art. It was designed as a model of the library of the Mafra Abbey in Portugal and was once the city hall. The building is now one of the historical buildings in Macau's historic city on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The building is located in a historically Chinese-style pavilion building, which reads government orders for the Ming Dynasty government and serves as a venue for Chinese and Portuguese officials to meet. In 1784 (Qing Qianlong 49), the Portuguese purchased the site and built a Portuguese-style council building, which became the local political heart of Macau, where all municipal matters, as well as Portuguese rallies and celebrations, were held. The building is a typical Portuguese-style building, formerly the political center of Macau, and now has become a temple of local cultural and artistic collection.

    The place is not big, rich and very European Portuguese situation. Go straight in to take pictures.

    It is located at one end of the Senado Square in São Lourenço, Macau. The building is U-shaped. The right part of the first floor of the building features an exhibition hall, hosting art exhibitions on a regular basis.
