Called the "most beautiful bank" by netizens, it has a neoclassical style, with creamy white exterior walls matched with green doors and windows, and eaves supported by Roman columns that are both retro and elegant.

Just a few steps away, this place is listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. There is St. Joseph's Seminary and Church. The Baroque-style buildings are full of traces of time. The murals inside the church are exquisite and worth a careful appreciation. The surrounding Portuguese-style buildings are particularly charming under the shade of green trees. Find a corner to sit down and quietly enjoy the pleasant afternoon.

Formerly a parliament pavilion, the Southern European-style building is very eye-catching. Walking into the lobby, you will see the tiled floor and exquisite murals, giving it a full sense of history. The Portuguese garden outside is lush and green, with a fountain, and many people take a leisurely stroll here.
📍House of Mercy Building
Just opposite the Municipal Affairs Bureau, the light yellow exterior with green shutters is a typical Portuguese building. The Macau Holy House of Mercy Museum displays the past charitable history and cultural relics, which can help us understand the development of Macau’s social welfare.
