Day 2 : Macau Heritage Trail : A-Ma Temple Templo de A-Ma, Sao Lourenco / Barra Square

On our way to A-ma Temple and Barra Square after walking down from Penha Hill

A-Ma Temple - Oldest Temple in Macau. It was constructed in the year of 1488 of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to commemorate Mazu, the sacred sea goddess who blesses the fishermen of Macau.



Entrance to A Ma Temple and wow it was very crowded that day!

Look at the crowd!

This is the Barra Square in front of A Ma Temple. There are many such squares in Macau, just like in Europe.
