Perched at the north, western end of the Largo do Senado, on Largo de Santo Domingos, St Dominic’s Church is a graceful, pastel yellow building with tall, green, wooden shuttered doors and windows that are flung open during services. The church offers services in Cantonese, Portuguese and English and remains a major meeting point for Macau’s sizable Christian community.

At the back of the church, walking through the wide veranda, is a small museum with an extensive collection of sacral art from both Macau and Portugal. Some of the pieces stretch back to the 16th century and include paintings, religious artefacts and a variety of statues, several of which look like they’ve been lifted from a Best of Kitsch convention.
