The A-Ma Temple not only predates the city of Macau, but it might also have given the place its name! According to legend, Portuguese sailors misheard "A-Ma-Gau", or bay of A-Ma, goddess of seafarers and fishermen, as "Macau", and history was made. Built in 1488, during the Ming Dynasty, it is the oldest and most famous temple in the city, with pavilions for the worship of Taoist, Buddhist, and folk deities.
媽閣廟建於明朝（1488年），廟內供奉道教、佛教等多個神祇。媽閣廟不但是澳門最古老的現存廟宇，甚至可能是澳門葡文名字「Macau」的出處。傳說當年葡萄牙人登陸澳門時，向當地居民查問這裡的地方名字，居民卻回答說是「媽閣」，結果因緣際會下，葡萄牙人就把澳門直接音譯為「Macau」。

Strolling past the historic neo-classical buildings that line Senado Square, one could easily imagine it as a sunny Mediterranean plaza – though the Kuan Tai Temple firmly puts the Chinese community's stamp on the square! Named for the nearby Senate building that was once the seat of Macau's government, Senado Square is still the city's “town center”, playing host to most public events, festivals and markets.

In the 16th century, Macau was home to the first Western-style university in eastern Asia, St. Paul's College. In 1835, the school and the neighboring Church of Mater Dei burned, leaving what is collectively known as the Ruins of St. Paul's, though the most notable feature is the church's towering facade and its graceful fusion of Eastern art and Western architecture. This symbol of the city's multicultural character and heritage is open to the public daily.
十六世紀期間，澳門成立了遠東地區一所西式大學－聖保祿學院。1835年，該學院連同其附屬聖保祿教堂被大火燒毀，只剩下教堂最具代表性的正面前壁，成為了聖保祿教堂遺址。有見於石壁融合了中式藝術元素及西式建築風格，因而將其稱之為大三巴牌坊，成為澳門多元文化的象徵。這座歷史遺跡現於每日對外開放，歡迎旅客參觀遊覽。

Through his writings on economics, renowned author Zheng Guanying influenced Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Mao Tse Tung, and thus the course of Chinese history. In his home, a traditional Chinese-style compound (1869), visitors can see the influences of Macau's role as a global port and European colony on local life and traditional aesthetics, in details like Chinese latticed windows, Indian mother-of-pearl inlays, large French windows and Portuguese cobblestones.

Built between 1617 and 1626, Mount Fortress was once Macau's primary defense against pirates and attack from the sea, even saving the city from an attempted Dutch invasion. Construction was begun by the Jesuits, with military barracks, wells and a large enough arsenal to withstand up to two years under siege, before being seized by the governor of Macau. Since the 1960s, it has served as a weather observatory and, more recently, as the home of the Macao Museum.
大炮台始建於1617年，至1626年建成，是當時澳門為防範海盜及敵軍的海上攻擊而設的重要軍事設施，更曾成功抵禦荷蘭人入侵。該炮台由耶穌會士修建，工程還包括官兵的營房、儲水池及軍需庫，內藏足以應付長達兩年敵軍包圍的儲備，及至後來由澳門政府接管。自1960年代起，大炮台改建成氣象台，現址已成為澳門博物館。

As the old saying goes, "He who drinks from the waters of Lilau will never forget Macau!" The natural spring that feeds the Lilau once served as the city's primary water supply, and bordered one of its first Portuguese-style residential quarters. Visitors with sharp eyes will spot classic examples of the region's seamless fusion of Mediterranean ambiance and traditional Chinese architecture, particularly at landmarks such as Mandarin's House. Lilau Square is part of the Historic Centre of Macau, which in 2005 was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
