The Historic Center of Macao
one eventually lands at Cathedral Square on the hilltop where the Cathedral is
located. Turning back down to St. Dominic's Square, one passes a typical Chinese
courtyard house compound - the Lou Kau Mansion.
St. Dominic's Church is located at the junction of Senado Square and
Dominic's Square. Ascending from the base of Mount Hill from this urban piazza
along Palha Street, the bluestone cobbled road leads to the grand fa?ade of the
Ruins of St. Paul's, with Mount Fortress to the side of it.
Behind the majestic church front is the miniature Na Tcha Temple and Section
of the Old City Walls. Further down the hill, the linear route ends at St.
Anthony's Church, the Casa Garden and the Protestant Cemetery. Standing on the
highest hill of Macao Guia Hill, Guia Fortress, Chapel and Lighthouse are
visible along the skyline of the peninsula.
