The Cathedral on the right. In 1575, the Catholic church was established in Macau - named the City of the Name of God - and promptly became the centre of Catholicism in Asia. In 1576, the Cathedral was built and many important relics of the 16th & 17th Century are stored here. Next to the Cathedral stands the timelessly beautiful Bishop's Palace. Although the Cathedral is not the biggest church in Macau, it is certainly one of the grandest. Holy House of Mercy on the left was under renovation.

Lou Kau Mansion was built in 1889 as a two-storey traditional gray-brick courtyard house with the architectural characteristics of a typical "Xiguan" or Chinese residential building. The mansion was the home of Lou Va Shio, a prominent Chinese merchant who owned several imposing properties in the city.
