it is a beautiful church and visitors must keep quiet in the church which made going in to sit on the pews a pleasant experience.

We visited twice, and felt disappointed, it felt more of a shopping are! People had no respect at all, noisy and took pictures without paying respecting other people who came to pray.

It was my birthday when we were visiting Macau, so it was a good opportunity to say a little prayer in this church. It's a quaint and cozy church, representative of Macau's history. Visitors can go in and photographs are allowed, even if you're not there to pray.

It locates at senado sq., so it's really convenient to go. The church is not big but quite beautiful and good atmosphere. I bet most of travelers come to senado sq., so it's not bad to take a walk here.

In the heart of the historic centre of Macau walking among the streets of the city centre you find yourself faced with numerous churches testifying to the former Portuguese colony of Macau, one of these delicious structures is the St. Domingo's church. As modest as modest is the building size, I really liked the yellow color of the facade with... More

This had to be one of the nicest churches I've seen before. A nice buttery yellow exterior paint with dark green on the shutters. The interior was very stunning and the statues and various religious elements around the sides were incredibly cool. When you walk to the right there's a corridor that leads to the back of the church to... More

Don't expect too much. Ordinary working church. A nice & quite getaway from the street noise. Say a prayer, enjoy the peace.

Just beautiful as we walked in when the choir were practising. Definitely worth having a look at if you are in the vicinity.

I hadn't done any real research before embarking on my day-out in Macau during my stopover in Hong Kong but this church was a pleasant surprise. Brightly coloured, simple yet it has something about it, at least for me. Probably having something Portuguese in the middle of Asia. Well worth visiting when doing your walking tour of Macau.
